The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: When a category is oversubscribed, places go to the children with the strongest geographical claim (straight-line distance). If children tie on distance and there are too few places for all of them, the Local Authority holds a random allocation, done by hand and overseen by an independent person from the Legal Services Team. In that process, twins and children from multiple births count as one applicant.
