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: If the school becomes oversubscribed within any of criteria 2, 3 and 5 above, proximity to the school will first be applied with those living closest to the school having priority for admission. Random allocation will be used as a tie-break to decide who has the highest priority for admission. However, if children of multiple births (twins and triplets) are tied for the final place, those siblings will be admitted over the published admission number. Every child entered onto the Hertfordshire County Council admissions database has an individual random number assigned between 1 and 1 million, against each preference school. When there is a need for a final tie break the random number is used to allocate the place, with the lowest number given priority. If the school becomes oversubscribed under criterion 4 and two or more applicants are tied for the final place with equal musical aptitude scores, then proximity to the school will first be applied with the applicant living closest to the school having priority for admission. If the distance between these applicants’ homes and the school are also equidistant then the random allocation will be used as a final tiebreaker.
Document also includes separate In-Year Oversubscription Criteria (section 10) for Years 7-11 applications outside the secondary transfer round, and separate Sixth Form admission arrangements with their own oversubscription criteria for external applicants; these are not included as they are for a different entry point/process than the main Year 7 secondary transfer arrangements.
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.
