John Ruskin is a Community Primary School. In cases of over-subscription, places are allocated in the following order: 1) Children in public care (looked after) and children who were previously looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order) immediately following having been looked after; 2) Children with siblings who are already on roll at the school and will still be on roll at their date of entry; 3) Children with exceptional medical, social or psychological needs, where it is agreed by the Local Authority (LA) and the headteacher that these can best be addressed at a particular school; 4) Children of permanent staff employed at the school; 5) Children living nearest to the school as measured by a straight line from the child's home to the main school gate/entrance.
