Cox Green School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Children in care and previously in care, including a ‘child looked after’ or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, residence order, or special guardianship order, and those children who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
2. 2Children with exceptional medical or social reasons for requiring the school.
3. 3Children who live in the ‘designated area’ of the school.
4. 4Children who would have a sibling of compulsory school age who would be at the school at the time of admission of the child for whom a place is sought. The term ‘brothers or sisters’ includes a half or stepchild permanently living in the same family unit or a foster child permanently living in the same family unit whose place has been arranged by the social services department of a local authority. Sibling eligibility will flow from a foster child to other children of the family or from a child of the family to a foster child. A child is regarded as being of compulsory school age until the end of the school or academic year in which he or she becomes 16 years of age.
5. 5Children who attend a priority linked school: • Holyport Primary School • Larchfield Primary School • Lowbrook Academy • Knowl Hill Primary School • Oldfield Primary School • Waltham St Lawrence Primary School • Wessex Primary School • White Waltham CE Primary School • Woodlands Park Primary School
6. 6Children of staff at the school where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
7. 7All other applicants
8. 8If the academy does not have places for all the children in a particular category, tiebreakers will be applied to prioritise places.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
