When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: When demand exceeds places in any of the oversubscription criteria, the distance between the child’s home (see Note 15.4) and the school, measured by a straight line distance from the Ordnance Survey address point of the home to the main entrance to the school building, will be used to decide who is given a place, those living nearest being given the available places. Where the offer of places to applicants with equi-distant addresses would lead to oversubscription, the decision of who will be offered the place will be made by random selection.
The document's title reads 'Admissions Policy 2027/28' (approved 25 February 2026), but the Published Admission Number table in section 2.1 explicitly states the PAN of 60 applies 'for 2026/27' — this discrepancy is as printed in the source document. The school also has 16 Resourced Provision places for children with SEMH needs, which are filled via a separate Local Authority process and are not part of these oversubscription arrangements. The school has priority admission areas (maps in Appendix A) used within criterion 4.
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.
