Distance did not decide places here
Every applicant who applied on time was offered a place for 2026-27 (Year 7), so there was no cut-off distance. This changes from year to year; check the current year's figures before relying on it.

If two applications tie: In the event of an oversubscription in any of the above category's places will be allocated according to those who live nearest the school, calculated on the basis of a straight-line measurement between home and school. In a very small number of cases the Local Authority will use a computerised system to randomly select the child to be offered the final place.

Transcribed from the school's own determined admission arrangements as published by Birmingham City Council. Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted first; that is a statutory duty, not an oversubscription criterion. This document is a single trust/diocesan policy covering 3 schools; the criteria above are the ones it prints for this school.
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.
