Last distance offered at Hockliffe Lower 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: Distance between the applicant's principal residence and the School, measured from the front door of the School to the front door of the applicant's residence in a straight line using a computerised measuring system, with those living nearest being given priority. In the event that there are two residences at the same distance and it is not possible to distinguish between them, then random allocation will be used to determine priority. Where random allocation is used, it will be independently supervised.
Multiple births: where one remaining place is available and the next child on the waiting list is one of a twin, triplet or other multiple birth group, both/all siblings would be admitted even if this goes above the admission number. Fair Access Protocol children take precedence over those on the waiting list.
