Previously looked after children are children who were previously looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements 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. Siblings already attending the school — For admission purposes, a sibling is a child who resides permanently at the same address as the child for whom a place is being requested, and is one of the following: brother/sister; half-brother/sister (i.e. share one common parent); stepbrother/sister (i.e. related by a parent's marriage); any other child for whom it can be demonstrated that they are residing permanently at the same address (e.g. under the terms of a Child Arrangement Order). The sibling connection only applies where the child concerned has a sibling attending the school at the time of the application as well as at the time of admission (i.e. for normal year of entry applications, siblings are expected to be attending the same school in September 2027). A sibling connection will not be accepted if the original place was obtained by using fraudulent or false information; 3. Children of staff members — This applies where the parent has been employed by the school for two or more years at the time at which the application of admission to the school is made, and/or where the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post at the school for which there is a demonstrable skills shortage.

How places are decided at St Alban's Church of England Primary Academy

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

1Children in care and previously looked after children — Children in care are children who are: a) in 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 previously looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements 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.
2Siblings already attending the school — For admission purposes, a sibling is a child who resides permanently at the same address as the child for whom a place is being requested, and is one of the following: brother/sister; half-brother/sister (i.e. share one common parent); stepbrother/sister (i.e. related by a parent's marriage); any other child for whom it can be demonstrated that they are residing permanently at the same address (e.g. under the terms of a Child Arrangement Order).

A sibling connection will not be accepted if the original place was obtained by using fraudulent or false information.
3Children of staff members — This applies where the parent has been employed by the school for two or more years at the time at which the application of admission to the school is made, and/or where the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post at the school for which there is a demonstrable skills shortage. This criteria applies to all permanent staff members, and excludes staff employed on a casual/temporary contract. Applicants to complete Appendix 1b.
4Religious reasons — This criteria applies to a child and family who has religious reasons for attending the preferred Church of England school and for whom it can be demonstrated by the faith leader that they have current strong religious connections. This reason will only be taken into consideration if the preferred school is the nearest Church of England school to the child's home address (measured by a straight line from the home address to the school using the Local Authority's software).
5Distance — How close the child lives to the school requested with those living closest to the school getting the highest priority. The distance from the applicant's home address is taken in a straight line between the respective school's address and the child's home address. The distance is measured using the Local Authority's software.

If two applications tie: If there are a limited number of spaces available and we cannot distinguish between applicants using the above criteria, children will be offered the available spaces randomly selected 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).

A child with an EHCP naming the school will be admitted before oversubscription criteria are applied. St Alban's CE has distinctive Christian character but welcomes children of all faiths and none. Transcribed from the school's own determined admission arrangements as published by City of Wolverhampton Council. Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted first; that is a statutory duty, not an oversubscription criterion. This document is a single trust/diocesan policy covering 9 schools; the criteria above are the ones it prints for this school.

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.
