Oversubscription Criteria
Children who are not allocated a place in the nursery will be placed on a reserve list and may receive a place if one becomes available during the school year.
If Little Stars is oversubscribed the following criteria will be used to allocate places:
- Children in the care of the local authority (Looked After children) or who have previously been in Local Authority care.
- Children with siblings already attending the school, who will still be on role at the date of admission of the new pupil (Siblings refers to other children living in the family unit at the same address). This includes children who have a sibling who has been allocated a reception place, even if they have not yet started school.
- Children with exceptional medical, educational or social needs, where it is agreed by the Local Authority and the school that these can be best met at Bessemer, supported by current written evidence from an appropriate professional.
- Children for whom Bessemer is the closest nursery setting (measured as the crow flies from the main school gate).
