- When Gayton Primary School has more applications than places for 2026-27, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after, previously looked after children, adopted from care, special guardianship A 'looked after child' is a c… — Looked after, previously looked after children, adopted from care, special guardianship 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, in England. A 'previously looked after child' is a child who was looked after in England, but ceased to be so because they were adopted, or became subject to a child arrangements or residence order, or a special guardianship order. All references to previously looked after children in this Code mean such children who were adopted (or subject to child arrangements orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after 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. Applications in this category must be accompanied by a signed and dated letter from the child's social worker or former social worker confirming their status, to be received by the application deadline in the normal admission round; 2. Children with a sibling at the School in Reception Year to Year 6 The sibling must attend the School in Reception Yea… — Children with a sibling at the School in Reception Year to Year 6 The sibling must attend the School in Reception Year to Year 6 at the time when the applicant child is admitted. For the purpose of this category, a 'sibling' is a full sibling (sharing both parents), a half sibling (sharing one parent), an adopted sibling, a long term foster sibling (i.e. not a temporary placement), a step sibling (one child's parent married to the other child's parent), or a child of their parent's cohabiting partner. In all cases, the sibling must live at the child's home address (as defined by this policy) as part of the same core family unit. For the avoidance of doubt, a child of a friend or extended family member (e.g. cousin) will not be a 'sibling' for this purpose, even if they live at the same address as the applicant child. For inclusion in this category, parents must state the sibling's details in the application form; 3. Children of staff members employed at Gayton Primary School The staff member must have a permanent contract, be perma… — Children of staff members employed at Gayton Primary School The staff member must have a permanent contract, be permanently based at Gayton Primary School for more than 50% of their normal working hours each week during term time, and have been: Employed for at least two years at the time of application; or Recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage, as confirmed by their HR Manager (see below). For the avoidance of doubt, it is not possible for a staff member to have priority at more than one School within the Trust. For the purpose of this category, a 'child' of a staff member is their natural or adopted child (whether they live with the staff member or elsewhere), and/or their step-child or child of their cohabiting partner (where they live and sleep at the staff member's home address for more than 50% of their time from Sunday to Friday night during term time). For the avoidance of doubt, a step-child or child of a cohabiting partner, who lives elsewhere, will not be eligible for a place under this category For inclusion in this category, the employed parent must complete the application form, and it must be accompanied by a signed and dated letter from the employed parent's HR Manager confirming how they meet the criteria set out above, to be received by the application deadline in the normal admission round. The Local Authority will send a list of any claimants in February each year for the school to verify and respond to, and 1 further criteria. The school offers 30 places at this entry point.
