Public care or disability, in catchment — Children in public care or have a recognised disability, who live in the area served by the school; 3. Catchment with sibling — Children who live within the catchment area and have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of their admission, and 4 further criteria. The school offers 24 places at this entry point. Tie-break: If all children within any of the above rules cannot be offered a place, the highest priority will be given to children living nearest to the school within that rule. To determine who lives nearest, distance will be measured on a straight line "crow fly" basis, using Ordnance Survey data. The address will be measured from the post office address point on the property. If, following the application of admission rules and distance, two applicants cannot be separated for a final place at a school the admissions body will use random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place.
