Trevelyan Middle School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 5), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1A looked after child or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order including those who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989).
2. 2Children of members of staff who have been employed by Pioneer Educational Trust for two years or more prior to the final submission deadline for the common application form (CAF), on 0.5 of full time or above or filling a vacant post where there is a skills shortage and working at Trevelyan Middle School. The term ‘staff’ refers to any employee who is permanently employed by Pioneer Educational Trust working at Trevelyan Middle School and excludes those contracted through external agencies.
3. 3Children attending a first (Reception to Year 4) school within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (see point 4 below) with siblings at the school. To meet the sibling criterion, your child’s sibling must be attending the school at the time of application and be expected to still be attending at the time of admission to the school (‘time of entry’).
4. 4Children attending a first (Reception to Year 4) school within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. These are feeder schools, and include Alexander First School, Braywood CE First School, Clewer Green First School, Dedworth Green First, Eton Porny School, Eton Wick School, Hilltop First School, Homer First School, King’s Court, Oakfield First School, Queen Anne First School, St Edward’s RC First School, The Royal School, and Trinity St Stephens CE School. Trevelyan Middle School does not give priority to which school applicants currently attend (see tie-breaker procedures below).
5. 5Children living within the catchment area of the school.
6. 6Any other applicants. Tiebreaker If applying these criteria results in there being more children within any of the above categories than the number of available places, the tie break will be the distance the pupil lives from the school, measured in a straight line, using the local authority’s computerised mapping system, with those living closer to the school receiving the higher priority. The distance will be measured from the address point of the pupil’s permanent home address to the main school reception of the main school site. Priority will not be given within each criterion to children who meet other criteria. Where there is one remaining place available, but the next measured distance is shared equally by more than one applicant, the place will be allocated by lot supervised by an independent person. Where there is one remaining place available and the next child to be considered for admission is one of a multiple birth group, all multiple birth siblings will be admitted even if this exceeds the PAN.
