When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 3), 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 distance (see Note 7) 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 5 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. The process will be conducted in the presence of a person independent of the school.
Policy determined 6 February 2026. The document header references 'Admissions Policy 2027/28' but the body text states 'Admission arrangements to the Reception Year in September 2026', which appears to be an internal inconsistency; the cover page year 2027/28 is used as the cohort start year. Administered in coordination with Darlington Borough Council.
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.
