Who gets priority
Published area: Areas served by primary schools in Beamsley, Bradley, Burnsall, Carleton, Cracoe, Embsay, Gargrave, Grassington, Kettlewell, Kirkby-in-Malhamdale, Skipton, Thornton-in-Craven and Threshfield, as mapped in Appendix 2.
This is a home-address catchment, not a requirement to attend one of those primary schools. Use the detailed council map or ask the school to confirm the full address. For first-round Year 7 applications, use the home at test registration or an evidenced move completed by the SIF deadline, 27 November 2026. Later moves affect allocations only after March. For shared care, use the majority of Sunday-Thursday school nights; the address must be the principal permanent home, with owner occupation or a tenancy lasting at least six months. Appendix 1 requires one Group A and one Group B address document, with separate evidence options for moves. Owning an in-area property while the principal home is elsewhere does not qualify.
Open the official boundary informationEHCP-named admissions reduce available places. Other boys must reach the cohort-based required standard. The order is looked-after or previously looked-after children, including policy-defined overseas state-care/adoption cases; catchment applicants; then outside-catchment applicants. Within the catchment and outside-catchment categories, priority is Pupil Premium at application, then a sibling attending in September 2027, then distance. First-round application time means test registration. The sibling definition includes half, adopted, foster and step brothers, or the son of a parent's partner in the same family home. Distance is straight-line from a fixed dwelling point to the nearest school-grounds entrance; shared-front-door dwellings use the building front door. Equal eligibility and distance for the final places uses random allocation with an independent witness. If claiming a priority, return the SIF and evidence by 27 November 2026 and name the school on the CAF; the SIF is not an application. Test registration closed at noon on 31 August 2026. The document title and entry dates are for 2027-28 although its footer says 2025-26; use the linked policy and confirm changes with the school.
