If two applications tie: Priority will be given to children living closest to the College determined by the shortest distance. Closeness to the College is measured in a straight line ('as the crow flies') from the permanent address at which the applicant normally resides at the time of the application to the centre of the school grounds (the centre is marked by the statue by the steps in the playground). In the event of distances being the same for two or more children where this would determine the last place to be allocated, random allocation will be carried out and supervised by a person independent of the College.

Provisions apply within each category for exceptional social/medical/pastoral need, sibling attendance, and Music Scholarship priority, in that order, before the tie-break is used. Notes 1-12 form part of the oversubscription criteria.
