Distance did not decide places here
Every applicant who applied on time was offered a place for 2026-27 (Year 7), so there was no cut-off distance. This changes from year to year; check the current year's figures before relying on it.
Last distance offered at Teignmouth Community School, Exeter Road, year by year →
When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: To prioritise applications within the same oversubscription criterion: a) straight-line distance from home to school (from the address point marker for the child's address to the centre of the main entrance to the school site, using Devon LA's GIS); then b) where distances are equal (within 2 metres) an electronic list randomiser will be used, undertaken by a person independent of the school. Random allocation is not applied to multiple birth siblings tied for the final place - all are admitted.
A child whose EHCP names the school is admitted without regard to these criteria (not numbered so not listed). The school also has a Year 12 (sixth form) normal round intake with a PAN of 25 for external applicants (in addition to Year 11 students moving up), but the document explicitly states 'See the separate admissions policy for sixth form' for those arrangements, so no Year 12 entry is produced here as no criteria for that point of entry are published in this document. Listed as 'Priority for children from another setting' (linked/feeder schools) in the key information table: Bishopsteignton School, Hazeldown School, Our Lady & Patrick's RC Primary School, Shaldon Primary School, Stokeinteignhead Primary School, Teignmouth Primary School. Document also has a designated religious character of 'No' and no faith-based priority.
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.
