Distance did not decide places here
Every applicant who applied on time was offered a place for 2024-25 (Reception), so there was no cut-off distance. This changes from year to year; check the current year's figures before relying on it.
How places were offered at Castlefield School, year by year →
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: Once the above rules have been applied then any further places will be offered in distance order; using the distance between the family's Normal Home Address and the school's nearest open entrance gate offering the closest first. We use a straight-line distance
Document also covers Nursery (2 year old and 3 year old) provision with the same ordered criteria, but these are not statutory school Reception admissions and PAN differs (12 and 75 respectively, per session/room). Only Reception (statutory school entry) is included as a separate entry per instructions; Nursery entries are not a 'point of entry' equivalent to Reception/Year 3/etc. and are omitted from the schools array structure.
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.
Same phase, ranked by distance and how closely they match.
