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: Where there are more applications than places for a school, the distance from home to the school will be used in order to allocate priority for places with those living nearest the school being given priority and a place at the school before those living further away. The distance will be measured using the shortest available route on Google Maps. Multiple births: in any circumstances in which there is one place available, and the next eligible children are twins/triplets, then the Local Authority will admit both/all children.
Where there is an Individual Development Plan (IDP) naming a particular school for admission, this must be stated clearly on the application form; such applications are dealt with BEFORE the award of any places through these oversubscription criteria. For full-time 4-year-old primary applications, the 3-year-old part-time nursery or early years provision allocated cannot be used as a criterion for giving priority. For Year 7 secondary applications, the primary school a pupil attends cannot be used as a criterion for giving priority. Siblings are a full, half, adopted, fostered or step brother or sister, but in every case the children must be living in the same family unit at the same address for the majority of the week; where there is 50/50 residency the address of the parent/guardian in receipt of child benefit is used, and the sibling must be enrolled and attending the school when the child is due to start. The Authority reserves the right to request evidence; failure to provide it results in the application being ranked as having no sibling at the school.
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.
