was the furthest place offered on offer day for 2026-27 (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 Silverdale 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 Sheffield: where the admission number is reached mid-category, 1) where exceptional medical, social or special educational needs are demonstrated and evidenced by a professional; 2) if no exceptional circumstances are present, admissions are prioritised by the straight line distance from the centre of the home to the centre of the school building. In Derbyshire: where there are two or more applicants in a criterion who have equal priority and there are insufficient places available, 1) those children living nearest to the school (measured by a straight line distance from home to school) will be given preference, 2) then a random allocation will be used to determine which child shall be given a place, supervised by someone independent of the Trust.
In Derbyshire, for criteria 2, 3, 4, or 6, choices between children satisfying the same criteria are made using straight-line distance to the school. Separate criteria for Year 3 transfer (infant to junior) in Sheffield are also published in the document but do not apply to this secondary school's Year 7 entry.
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.
