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 two (or more) children have the same ranking and consideration of the above area priorities has already been applied, then the children who live nearest from their home address to the school are given priority. This distance is measured using the postal address of the school, in a direct line to the actual address for the child's home. The child's address must be the current one at the time of application... Should this be split equally between parents it will be based on the average distance of the two addresses. If the distance between home and school is the same, which includes the same geographical property reference (such as a block of flats), random allocation is used as a tie-breaker.
Once all children who meet the required standard with an education, health and care plan naming the school are admitted, the oversubscription criteria apply. Area 1 and Area 2 rankings are based on the overall entrance examination mark of children attending those designated primary schools.
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.
Same phase, ranked by distance and how closely they match.
