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: Priority will be given to children living closest to the school determined by the shortest distance. Distance is measured by means of a straight line on a horizontal plane. The local authority's Geographical Information System is used which applies seed points as determined by Ordnance Survey. Measurements are taken from the seed point of the ordinary place of residence to the seed point of the school. Where the school has more than one seed point, the seed point closest to the geographical centre of the school site is used. Where places are being allocated based on the distance criteria or as part of the distance tie breaker, and there are insufficient places within the admission number for two (or more) children living in the same building (e.g., flats) or otherwise equidistant from the school, then any final place will be allocated by the simple drawing of lots which will be independently verified.
Within each category, siblings (brother or sister at the school at time of enrolment) are given higher priority, followed by children of staff (employed 2+ years or recruited to fill a vacancy with demonstrable skill shortage). Attendance at a feeder primary school includes those prevented from attending due to oversubscription of Catholics whose application was unsuccessful, normally evidenced by a letter of rejection from the feeder primary school.
