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: Priority will be given to children living closest to the school determined by the shortest distance, measured in a straight line (as the crow flies) from the front door of the child's address to the main entrance of the school, using the Local Authority's computerised measuring system, with those living closer receiving higher priority. In the event of equal distances, random allocation will be carried out in a public place supervised by an independent person.
PAN set at 225, but enhanced to 260 subject to completion of building works for pupils to year 7 in the school year beginning September 2027. Within each listed category, exceptional social/medical/pastoral need and sibling attendance provisions apply as sub-priorities before the tie-break.
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.
