Last distance offered at St Mary's Church of England School, year by year →
When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: Proximity of the child’s home, as measured by the straight-line distance (see Note 6) between the home and the school with those living nearer being accorded the higher priority, will serve to differentiate between children in criteria 1 to 6 should the need arise. In the event that two distance measurements are identical, the school will use random allocation to decide which child should be offered the place.
How places were allocated, published by Buckinghamshire Council for the September 2026 intake (How_Places_Were_Allocated_Into_Reception_September_2026_as_at_16_April_2026.xlsx). The council records: "All timely applicants offered up to Rule 3 (catchment with sibling), Rule 4 (catchment), Rule 5 (sibling) and some offered under Rule 6 (other children)". Distance of the last allocated child: 1.147 miles. Infant class size note: Infant Class Size. Places still available after this round: No. As a church school, the document states it welcomes applications from Christian families and those of other faiths or none, but no faith-based oversubscription criterion is listed in the numbered criteria. Catchment area determined by a map referenced but not reproduced in text.
