Admission criteria at St Michael's CofE Primary School

If more children apply than there are places, the 2026 admission rules offer places in this order:

  1. Foundation places (up to 40): children of committed, regular worshippers at a Churches Together in England church; priority area first.
  2. Open places (up to 20): children living within the school's priority area with a brother or sister on the roll who will still be there on admission.
  3. Open places: other children living within the priority area, by straight-line distance to the centre of the school site.
  4. Open places: children living outside the priority area, siblings first and then by straight-line distance to the centre of the school site.

Read the official rules: St Michael's Church of England School: Admissions Policy 2027/2028. The school’s own published arrangements always take priority over our summary.

Things to know before you apply for September 2027

  • Looked-after children, children with exceptional medical or social need, and children of qualifying teachers come first.
  • Then there are up to 40 Foundation places for children of committed, regular Christian worshippers (the school's supplementary form is needed) and up to 20 Open places.
  • Both pools give priority to children living inside the school's priority area (map on the school and council websites).
  • In Open places, priority-area siblings come first, then other priority-area children by distance; children outside the area come after them.
  • Every year 2022-2026, Open places ran out inside the priority area, so the published cut-offs only apply to addresses inside it.
  • Unfilled Foundation and Open places move between pools.
  • Children with an education, health and care plan (EHCP) naming the school are admitted first.

Questions about St Michael's CofE Primary School

How far away do you need to live to get into St Michael's CofE Primary School?

St Michael's CofE Primary School gives priority to children living in its priority area, ahead of distance, so whether you live inside it matters as well as how far away you are. In 2022 to 2026, places ran out before the distance criterion was reached, so living nearby wasn’t enough on its own. The last place in the priority area went to a child living between 217 m (0.13 miles) (2023) and 483 m (0.30 miles) (2024) away. Cut-offs move each year with the number of applicants and siblings, so treat these as a guide to past years, not a promise.

Do siblings get priority at St Michael's CofE Primary School?

Yes, for families in the priority area. Under the 2026 admission rules, children living in the priority area with a brother or sister at the school come ahead of other children in the priority area. Among the remaining children (the distance criterion), siblings are ranked first. Check the school’s admission arrangements for who counts as a sibling.

How many applications does St Michael's CofE Primary School get?

In 2026, St Michael's CofE Primary School received 221 applications for 60 Reception places: about 3.7 applications for each place, counting all six preferences. Families name several schools, so one child can count as an application at more than one school.

When do you apply to St Michael's CofE Primary School for a Reception place in September 2027?
