Local-authority coordinated default oversubscription criteria for London Borough of Newham's community and voluntary-controlled schools (the council is the admission authority). Some community/voluntary-controlled schools in this authority apply catchment-area, feeder-school or priority-area variants — check the individual school for its exact arrangements. Document states no state funded schools in Newham have a catchment area, but faith schools (voluntary aided, not covered by this default) use parish catchments and Supplementary Information Forms; some academy schools may adopt different arrangements or use straight line distance/random allocation as tie breaker.
