Distance did not decide places here
Every applicant who applied on time was offered a place for 2018-19 (Year 7), so there was no cut-off distance. This changes from year to year; check the current year's figures before relying on it.
How places were offered at Saint Paul's Catholic High School, year by year →
When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Year 7), 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 as a straight-line from the child’s home address, using the address point assigned by The National Land and Property Gazetteer, to the main gate to the school property. Measurements will be made using the local authority’s school admissions data mapping software. In the event of distances being the same for two or more children where this would determine the last place to be allocated, random allocation will be carried out and supervised by a person independent of the school.
Within each of the 7 categories, sub-priority is given first to children with a sibling attending the school at time of enrolment, then to children of staff, before the distance tie-break is applied. The admission authority is Corpus Christi Catholic Academy Trust.
