Oversubscription criteria for community primary schools 2026

Pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), where the school is named will be admitted first.

After this, places are allocated in this order of priority:

1. Looked after children.

2. Children who have a brother or sister who is:

   1. permanently resident in the same household;
   2. and currently attending the school or its associated junior school.

   Please note: The above includes step/half brothers and sisters, but excludes pupils in their final year. Also, a sibling link cannot be claimed where:

   • A sibling in receipt of an EHCP attends a resourced unit within a mainstream primary school.
3. Other children.

Notes

1. If over-subscribed in any category, children will be admitted in order of Proximity.
