A place in its nursery class does not carry on into Reception, so you still need to apply.

No. Distance only counts when Oakwood Infant and Nursery School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by the local authority, Essex, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
