When Guiseley School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Exceptional Need – Looked After Children — Children in public care or fostered under an arrangement made by the local authority (see note 1). This includes all previously looked after children, including those children who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted; 2. Exceptional Need – SEN/Medical/Mobility — Pupils without an EHCP but who have Special Educational Needs, or with exceptional medical or mobility needs, that can only be met at Guiseley School. (See note 2); 3. Siblings — Children with older brothers or sisters who will be at school at the start of the academic year and are living at the same address (see note 3). Siblings refers to brother or sister, half brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, stepbrother or sister, foster brother or sister. The definition does not include cousins or other family members sharing a house. This priority will not apply where the older sibling joined the sixth form from a different school, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 240 places at this entry point. Tie-break: In the unlikely event there are insufficient places for two (or more) pupils living in the same building (e.g. flats) or otherwise equidistant from the school, then any final place will be allocated by the drawing of lots.

How places are decided at Guiseley School

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.

1Exceptional Need – Looked After Children — Children in public care or fostered under an arrangement made by the local authority (see note 1). This includes all previously looked after children, including those children who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
2Exceptional Need – SEN/Medical/Mobility — Pupils without an EHCP but who have Special Educational Needs, or with exceptional medical or mobility needs, that can only be met at Guiseley School. (See note 2).
3Siblings — Children with older brothers or sisters who will be at school at the start of the academic year and are living at the same address (see note 3). Siblings refers to brother or sister, half brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, stepbrother or sister, foster brother or sister. The definition does not include cousins or other family members sharing a house. This priority will not apply where the older sibling joined the sixth form from a different school.
4Nearest School — We will give priority to parents for whom Guiseley School is their nearest school. If we have more applications than there are places, we will offer places first to children living nearest to the school (measured in a straight line).
5Other applications by straight line distance — If none of the other priorities apply, we will then prioritise all other families who chose Guiseley School. If we have more applications than there are places, we will offer places first to children based on straight line distance (see note 4).

If two applications tie: In the unlikely event there are insufficient places for two (or more) pupils living in the same building (e.g. flats) or otherwise equidistant from the school, then any final place will be allocated by the drawing of lots.

Children with an EHCP naming Guiseley School are admitted before the oversubscription criteria apply. Priority 1 is split into two sub-criteria: 1a (looked after/previously looked after children) and 1b (SEN/medical/mobility needs without EHCP). The 'nearest school' area (Priority 3) is defined by a specific geographic boundary map. A separate PAN of 150 applies to Year 12 sixth form entry, with its own oversubscription criteria.

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.
