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: Where there are places available for some, but not all applicants within a particular criterion 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 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.
PAN is set at 235, but enhanced to 250 subject to completion of building works, for pupils entering Year 7 in September 2026 school year; the enhanced PAN will be used at the point of admission and initial appeals, while statutory PAN of 235 is used for in-year transfers.
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.
