When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Looked after Children and previously looked after children — Looked after children and previously looked after children. Applications for a place for a child who is looked after or previously looked after must be made by the person with parental responsibility for the child (e.g. social worker, acting on the behalf of the local authority for a looked after child) and will need to be supported by: Confirmation by the home local authority that the child is looked after or Confirmation by the local authority that the child was looked after immediately prior to the issuing of one of the orders detailed above.
2. 2Exceptional medical or social needs — Children who have exceptional medical or psychological conditions that make it essential that they attend this school rather than any other school. Appropriate medical or psychological evidence must be produced in support. When submitting applications under exceptional medical or social needs, this must be supported by written evidence from an independent professional aware of the case relating to the child (e.g. doctor, hospital consultant or psychologist for medical grounds or registered social or care worker, housing officer, the police or probation officer for social needs). The evidence must be specific to this school and it must show why the school is the most suitable; what facilities will benefit the child, and why no other school can offer the same support.
3. 3Children of staff — Children of BET staff at the school where the member of staff is the legal parent / guardian of that child and who have, (i) been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, or (ii) have been recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage
4. 4Sibling on roll — Children who at the time of application have a sibling on the roll of the school and who will still be on roll at the time of the sibling's admission. Priority will not be given to children with siblings who are former pupils of the School (or who left during or at the end of academic year 2025/26)
5. 5Children living within catchment and attending a linked school — Children whose permanent home address is inside the school's designated catchment area and attend a linked school. In alphabetical order: All Saints Junior School, Elvetham Heath Junior School, Grange Community Junior School, Guillemont Junior School, Hawley Primary School, South Farnborough Junior School, St Bernadettes Primary School, St Peters C of E Junior School, The Ferns Primary Academy, Tower Hill Primary School, Velmead Junior School
6. 6Children living in catchment not attending linked school — Children whose permanent home address is inside the School's designated catchment area and who live closest to the school, based on a straight line from the main front door to the entrance of the property. Parents should note that if they apply for free transport, different criteria may apply and the distance from home to school might be measured using a different route.
7. 7Children living outside the catchment area, in order of priority — i. Children living outside the designated catchment area who attend a linked school as mentioned above ii. Children who are eligible for the Service Premium. Note; Service Premium is eligible to children of people in the Armed Services as outlined in S14 of the Education Act 2002. iii. Children who live closest to the school based on a straight line from the main front door to the entrance of the property.

If two applications tie: Where it is necessary to prioritise applications the criterion will be prioritised based on the shortest distance from the child's home to school, measured in a straight line 'as the crow flies'. Distances will be measured using the council's Geographical Information System (GIS) department. The Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG) unique property reference co-ordinates will be used to represent the school, whilst home co-ordinates will be primarily derived from the LLPG, with Ordnance Survey's ADDRESS-POINT® product used as support. Only distances measured by GIS will be taken into account for the purposes of the distance criterion. Should there be two or more identical distances, the prioritisation will be done by casting lots.

Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan naming the school must be admitted. Applications must be made using the Common Application Form by 31 October 2025 to be considered in the main allocation. National offer day is 2 March 2026.

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.
