How are Reception places decided at Holy Trinity School?

When Holy Trinity School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after and previously looked after children — A looked after child as defined in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989 — in the care of a local authority, or provided with accommodation by them in the exercise of their social services functions — at the time of application. A previously looked after child is one who moved immediately from that status to an adoption, child arrangements or special guardianship order, including children who appear to have been in state care outside England and ceased to be so because they were adopted; 2. Sibling already enrolled at the school — Pupils who on the due date of admission will have a sibling already enrolled at the school. Sibling includes brother and sister, half-siblings, adopted children, step-siblings and a child of the parent or carer’s partner, who must be living at the same home address; children brought together as a family by a civil partnership and living at the same address also count; 3. Children of school staff (two years or more) — Children of members of staff directly employed by the school who have been at the school for two or more years. Staff include teaching staff, learning support staff and administration staff, whether part time or full time, and 1 further criteria. The school offers 50 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Within criteria 2 to 4, ties are broken in favour of the child living closest to the school by the GeoCode measurement; if a tie remains, places are allocated by random selection conducted by a party independent of the school. Twins, triplets and other children born in the same year are given priority within their category so they are not separated.

What is the largest ethnic background at Holy Trinity School?

According to the DfE School Census 2025-26, 66.8% of pupils at Holy Trinity School are recorded as White British. The full ethnic breakdown across all groups is available on the Pupils tab.

How places are decided at Holy Trinity School

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.

1Looked after and previously looked after children — A looked after child as defined in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989 — in the care of a local authority, or provided with accommodation by them in the exercise of their social services functions — at the time of application. A previously looked after child is one who moved immediately from that status to an adoption, child arrangements or special guardianship order, including children who appear to have been in state care outside England and ceased to be so because they were adopted.
2Sibling already enrolled at the school — Pupils who on the due date of admission will have a sibling already enrolled at the school. Sibling includes brother and sister, half-siblings, adopted children, step-siblings and a child of the parent or carer’s partner, who must be living at the same home address; children brought together as a family by a civil partnership and living at the same address also count.
3Children of school staff (two years or more) — Children of members of staff directly employed by the school who have been at the school for two or more years. Staff include teaching staff, learning support staff and administration staff, whether part time or full time.
4Distance, allocated alternately between a near and a far group — After criteria 1 to 3 are applied to the ranking list received from Worcestershire County Council, remaining applicants are placed in two groups: those within a 1 mile radius (primary aged children) or 3 mile radius (secondary), and those beyond it. The near group is ranked closest first and the far group furthest first, and places are allocated alternately between the two groups until all are filled. If one group is exhausted, the remaining places are filled from the other.

If two applications tie: Within criteria 2 to 4, ties are broken in favour of the child living closest to the school by the GeoCode measurement; if a tie remains, places are allocated by random selection conducted by a party independent of the school. Twins, triplets and other children born in the same year are given priority within their category so they are not separated.

Holy Trinity School is an all-through free school and its own admission authority; it takes part in Worcestershire's co-ordinated scheme, so Reception and Year 7 applications go on the county common application form. Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan naming the school are admitted before these criteria are applied. Criterion 4 is unusual: after the first three criteria, remaining applicants are split into those inside a 1 mile radius (primary) or 3 mile radius (secondary) and those outside it, and places are then filled by ALTERNATING between the near group (closest first) and the far group (furthest first) until full — so living further away does not automatically rank you lower. Determined policy for 2027-28, reviewed July 2026.

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.
