Distance depends on the band here
XP East admits by banding: applicants are placed into bands and each band is filled separately, so there is no single last-offer distance. Each band has its own, and which one applies depends on your child's assessment — so one number could not answer this for every child.
How the bands work: Children who wish to apply for a place at the school must take a fair banding assessment to be considered for admission. Banding will be applied to all applicants including looked after children, previously looked after children and children with an Education, Health and Care plan. All children with an Education, Health and Care plan that names the school will be admitted. The Fair Banding Assessment is a cognitive ability, multiple choice assessment. There is no pass or fail mark. Applicants will be placed in one of 5 bands based on their assessment score. The children with the highest score will be placed in band 1 and the children with the lowest score will be placed in band 5 and so on. The bands will correspond with the local ability range in Doncaster. The school will apply the oversubscription criteria to determine which applicants to admit from each band... The academy trust will apply the oversubscription criteria to admit 10 pupils from each band to reach our admission number of 50.
Your local authority’s admissions booklet publishes the cut-off for each band. The full ranked criteria are on the Admissions tab.
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: If a tie-break is necessary, random allocation will be used to determine which child will be offered a place. The admissions authority will conduct the random allocation.
The academy trust will admit any pupil with an Education, Health and Care plan which names the school before applying these criteria. A separate aptitude test for Visual Arts determines eligibility for the 5 places under criterion 2; details of the aptitude test process (objectivity, accessibility for SEND pupils, notification before 31 October) are set out in the policy. Catchment area defined by specified DN/S64 postcodes.
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.
