Last distance offered at Cardinal Pole Catholic School, year by year →
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 the offer of places to all the applicants in any of the categories listed above would still lead to oversubscription, the places up to the admissions number (180) will be offered to those living nearest to the school, measured in a straight line using a GIS computerised system to the front gate of the school on Morning Lane. Where two or more students have equal priority for the one remaining place, the offer will be decided by random allocation i.e. drawing of lots, supervised by an independent witness.
Within each of the 7 categories, priority is further ordered by (i) Social/Medical Needs (compelling evidence of exceptional circumstance or medical/pastoral need) and then (ii) Siblings (attendance of a brother or sister at the school at time of admission), before distance tie-break applies. Fair Access Protocol and EHCP admissions handled outside normal round as legally required.
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.
