If two applications tie: If it is not possible to offer places for all applicants within any criteria above, then places will be allocated to the children who live nearest to the school. Where there are more applicants for the available places within a category, then the distance 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.
