When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: Priority will be given to children living closest to the school determined by the shortest distance. Distances are calculated between the Ordnance Survey address points for the school and the home measured in a straight line will be used as the final determining factor, nearer addresses having priority over more distant ones.
Within each category, provisions applied in order: (i) exceptional social, medical or pastoral need places application at top of category; (ii) attendance of a brother or sister at the school increases priority within category after (i). Where cut-off is for addresses within same building, Local Authority's random draw determines offers; otherwise random allocation supervised independently for tie-breaks.
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.
