Hungerhill School

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.

1. 1Looked After Children or Previously Looked After Children
2. 2Catchment Area — Children who are ordinarily resident in the catchment area of Hungerhill School. For applications for the year of entry received by the closing date for late applications, a catchment area school will be determined in relation to the address at which the student is ordinarily resident on that date. Once a waiting list is formed, a child's place on that list will be updated in light of any new address.
3. 3Pyramid Partner Schools — Children attending one of Hungerhill's family pyramid of schools (Barnby Dun Academy, Dunsville Primary, Kirk Sandall Junior, Edenthorpe Hall Primary and Canon Popham Primary Schools) for more than one academic year, and who have, on the closing date for late applications, attended one of these schools continuously for more than one year.
4. 4Trust Schools — Children attending one of Hungerhill's trust schools (Barnby Dun Primary Academy, Dunsville Primary, Kirk Sandall Infant, Kirk Sandall Junior and West Road Primary Academy) who have, on the closing date for late applications, attended one of these schools continuously for more than one academic year.
5. 5Siblings — Children who are living within the same family unit (e.g. stepchildren) who will be attending the requested school, (excluding sixth form), at the point of admission. Where there are twins/children of multiple birth to be admitted to a school in the same year group. If there are insufficient places available for all siblings, and one can be allocated a place, the admission number will be exceeded to allow them to be placed in the same school
6. 6Proximity — Children who live nearest to the requested school measured in a straight line from the point of the front entrance of the student's place of ordinary residence, to the entrance nearest to the reception of Hungerhill School. If two or more students live equidistant from the school, the distance each student lives by road from the preferred school will be measured and the place offered to the student who lives nearest by this means. In the event of this being equal (e.g. in the case of flats), places will then be decided by Random Allocation.

If two applications tie: Proximity - distance measured in a straight line, then by road, then Random Allocation if equal

Criterion f) Proximity is described as the final tie breaker for all preceding criteria as well as a standalone criterion.
