September 2025 entry: places were left, and everyone who put it first was offered one.
We can’t say from this how far away a family could live and still get a place.
Priority order when there are more applications than places, 2027-28 (Reception):
If two applications tie: If any criterion above has more applicants than places, the children living nearest the school get the places. If a category has more applicants than places, the deciding factor is the distance measured in a straight line between the Ordnance Survey address points of the home and the school, with nearer addresses given priority over those further away. If the last place falls between addresses in the same building, they share one measure between address points and the Local Authority's random draw decides which address or addresses get the offer. If two or more applicants for the last place or places live the same distance away, the one offered a place is picked randomly by a system.
Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs or Education Health Care Plan that names the school will be offered a place without using the admission criteria and will count as part of the school's published admission number.
Published by the admission authority. A criterion sets the order places are offered in and never guarantees a place.
