Derbyshire uses a geographic information system accurate to within 2 metres, measured from the postal address file — normally the house front door — to the centre of the school for primary phase schools.

Derbyshire County Council is the admission authority for community and voluntary controlled schools and sets these rules; a child with an education, health and care plan naming the school is admitted regardless. A place cannot be guaranteed for any child, even one living in the school’s normal area, and the council reserves the right to withdraw an offer obtained through misleading or fraudulent information. Where you live matters here: a child in the school’s normal area with no brother or sister at the school ranks above a child from outside it who has one.

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.
