How are Reception places decided at Spring Vale Primary School?

When Spring Vale Primary School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Children in care and previously in care — Children and young people in care are children who are in (a) the care of the local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of the social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time the application is made to school. Previously looked after children are children who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangement order or special guardianship order) 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; 2. Medical/social need met only by this school — Whether there are specific medical or social circumstances that can be met only by the child’s attendance at the preferred school; 3. Siblings — Whether siblings attend the school (or the associated Infant / Junior School) and will be attending the school in September 2026. See definition of a sibling below, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: If there are a limited number of spaces available in any category, and we cannot distinguish between applicants using the above criteria, then children who live closest to the school in a straight-line distance will be given highest priority for a place. Where children live an equal distance – for example, those who live in the same block of flats – allocation will be determined randomly by drawing lots. Where multiple births (twins and triplets etc.) from the same family are tied for the final place for Reception, we will admit them all, as permitted by infant class size legislation, in accordance with the School Admissions Code (2021).
