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: When demand exceeds places in any of the above criteria, the distance between the child's home and school, measured by a straight-line distance from the Ordinance 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.
Priority admission area referenced in criteria but its boundaries are not defined in this document. Multiple births provision: where a family of multiple births request admission and only one of the siblings can be offered a place, the remaining siblings will also be offered places above the admission number. School will not admit students excluded from two previous schools.
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.
