was the furthest place offered on offer day for 2025-26 (Year 7). That is how far the last place reached in ONE year — not a boundary, and not a guarantee. It moves with the number of applicants, so treat it as a guide rather than a line on a map.
Last distance offered at The Thomas Aveling School, year by year →
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.
If two applications tie: In the unlikely event that two or more children have equal eligibility for the last available place, the names will be issued a number and drawn randomly to decide which child is given the place. Where the final qualifying place(s) would go to the parent/carer of twins, triplets or other multiple birth, the school gives multiple-birth applications higher priority than other applications, except children in public care.
Places are offered first to children with an Education, Health and Care Plan naming the school, ahead of the numbered criteria. The Thomas Aveling School is an 11-18 co-educational, explicitly non-selective school ('students will be admitted without reference to ability or aptitude'). The same oversubscription criteria (1-5) are applied to in-year admissions for Years 8-11 and to Year 7 applications received after the normal round.
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.
