If two applications tie: Priority will be given to children living closest to the school determined by the shortest distance. Distances are calculated using the local authority's computerised measuring system on the following basis. The measurement is made from a fixed point within the dwelling, as identified by Ordnance Survey, to the nearest school entrance using footpaths and roads. 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. All the names will be entered into a hat and the required number of names will be drawn out.

The admission authority will, where logistically possible, admit twins and all siblings from multiple births where one of the children is the last child ranked within the school's PAN. Defined area is a geographical area determined by the Diocese of Leeds; maps available on school website.
