Local-authority coordinated default oversubscription criteria for Buckinghamshire Council's community and voluntary-controlled schools (the council is the admission authority). Some community/voluntary-controlled schools in this authority apply catchment-area, feeder-school or priority-area variants — check the individual school for its exact arrangements. Document also gives separate (slightly different, e.g. sibling definition) criteria for In-Year admissions, plus distinct criteria for Nursery Class and Nursery School admissions; catchment areas and linked/feeder primary schools vary by school, and some individual schools may adopt different arrangements as noted.

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.
