When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: If, in any of the above categories, there are more applications than places available, priority will be given on the basis of distance from home to school gate measured as a straight line on the Council’s computerised mapping system. The shortest distance being given priority. In the event that two applications are exactly the same after all other criteria have been taken into account Barrow 1618 would invoke its tie breaking policy. This will be based on a random allocation, supervised by someone independent of the School.
Children with a Statement of Special Educational Needs or EHCP naming Barrow 1618 as the appropriate school are allocated places first, before oversubscription criteria are applied.

Transcribed from the school's own determined admission arrangements as published by Shropshire Council. Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted first; that is a statutory duty, not an oversubscription criterion.
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.
