Distance did not decide places here
Every applicant who applied on time was offered a place for 2026-27 (Reception), so there was no cut-off distance. This changes from year to year; check the current year's figures before relying on it.
How places were offered at Bitterley CofE Primary School (Aided), year by year →
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: Proximity of the child’s home, as measured by the straight-line distance between the home and the academy(viii), with those living nearer being accorded the higher priority, will serve to differentiate between children in criteria 1 to 7 should the need arise. In the event that two distance measurements are identical, the academy will use random allocation to decide which child should be offered the place.
Children with a Statement of Special Educational Need or with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan naming Bitterley CE Academy will always be offered places (statutory duty, applied before oversubscription criteria). PAN for Reception 2026/27 is 16; multiple births may cause PAN to be exceeded. CATCHMENT: Children with a normal home address(vii)in the catchment area (See Appendix 2) 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.
