When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: Where there are places available for some, but not all applicants within a criterion priority will be given to children living closest to the school on the basis of distance from the centre of the home address to the main entrance of the school. Distance is measured by the shortest safest walking distance, using a geographical information system (GIS)... In the event of distances being the same for two or more children where this would determine the last place to be allocated, random allocation will be carried out in a public place and supervised by a person independent of the school.
Within each category, applications may be prioritised for (i) exceptional social, medical or pastoral need evidenced at time of application, then (ii) attendance of a brother or sister at the school at the time of enrolment, before the distance tie-break is applied. Twins/multiple births siblings admitted where logistically possible if one child is last ranked within PAN.
