Last distance offered at Bentley St Paul's Church of England Primary School, year by year →
When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: In the event of a tie in Category 4 or over subscription within all other categories, priority will be determined by applying the criterion of straight line distance from home to school with those living closest being given highest priority. In the unlikely event of two applicants with an identical distance competing for a single place at a school the place will be offered to one applicant on the basis of lots drawn by member of the governing board, who is not a parent governor and not involved in admissions, with the exception of twins, triplets etc.
In the event of over-subscription, applicants who meet the minimum attendance criteria in categories 4-6 will be ranked in order by the length of time they have regularly attended the church with priority for longer duration.
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.
