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: In case of applications in any category exceeding the number of places available, places will be offered according to the proximity of the boy's home to the front gate of the school. The distance between these points is calculated using the Council's computerised geographical information system. In the case of equal distance from the school or of more than one applicant from the same family applying for a remaining place, places will be offered by random allocation using Barnet Council's computerised system. Where the final place is offered to a child who has a twin/triplet etc., applying for a place in the same school year, these siblings will also be admitted.
