was the furthest place offered on offer day for 2024-25 (Year 9). That is how far the last place reached in ONE year — not a boundary, and not a guarantee. It moves with the number of applicants, so treat it as a guide rather than a line on a map.
Last distance offered at The Thomas Hardye School, year by year →
When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 9), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: Where two applications cannot otherwise be separated, the trust will follow a fair, clear and effective ‘tie-breaker’ procedure by allocating the place to the pupil who lives closest to school, using the measurement system of Dorset Council Local Authority; where distances are equal, priority will be determined by random allocation through the drawing of lots supervised by someone independent of the school.
Criteria are published trust-wide in section 5.2 and apply to all Trust schools' normal admissions round; criterion 8 (faith) is stated as 'CE Schools Only' and Thomas Hardye School is not listed as a CE school, so this criterion would not practically apply to it, though it remains part of the published ordered list.
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.
Same phase, ranked by distance and how closely they match.
