Distance did not decide places here
Every applicant who applied on time was offered a place for 2026-27 (Reception), so there was no cut-off distance. This changes from year to year; check the current year's figures before relying on it.
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: Tie Break Where children have identical ranking, priority will be determined by random allocation (see below). | Random Allocation Each child will be allocated a number. These numbers are shared with a person independent of the school who will supervise the process. Governors will then use a random number generator to rank the numbers. For children of a multiple birth, the order created by the random number generator, will be overridden to place all the children from the multiple birth together at the place where the highest child (from the multiple birth) is ranked. The random number generator will then be used to rank the children from the multiple birth. This process will also be applied to brothers or sisters who are not from a multiple birth but are applying for a place in the same year group.
ST MARY’S CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL ADMISSIONS POLICY 2027-28 (the school's own arrangements, read 1 Oct 2026). Places split: none (single ordered list) Distance: NONE: the word 'distance' does not appear in the 2027-28 policy (nor in the 2026-27 determined policy, whose tie break is identical). Determined: file name says determined ('st-marys-admissions-policy-2027-28-determined-1.pdf'); the text itself does not use the word
