was the furthest place offered on offer day for 2026-27 (Year 7). That is how far the last place reached in ONE year — not a boundary, and not a guarantee. It moves with the number of applicants, so treat it as a guide rather than a line on a map.

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: If two or more children have an equal claim to a place in any one category, we will give priority to children who live closest to the school, measured in kilometers in a straight line (as the crow flies)... When children have an equal claim to a place because their measurements are the same (for example, from a block of flats), we will use a lottery system (random allocation) to offer places to children.
Local-authority coordinated default oversubscription criteria for London Borough of Barking and Dagenham's community and voluntary-controlled schools (the council is the admission authority). Some community/voluntary-controlled schools in this authority apply catchment-area, feeder-school or priority-area variants — check the individual school for its exact arrangements. This ordered list applies to Barking and Dagenham community secondary schools and is also used by Dagenham Park Church of England School (voluntary-controlled), Greatfields, Riverside, Sydney Russell and Warren schools. Goresbrook School uses a different criteria order (LAC, then sibling, then distance).
Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
