Last distance offered at Trinity Church of England First School, year by year →
When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: If under all the above criteria any single category resulted in oversubscription, those living closer to the preferred school would receive the higher priority. Where there is more than one applicant ranked equally according to the published admission criteria and there are insufficient places available to allocate all of the equally ranked applicants the place(s) will be allocated by random allocation. | Trust-wide 3.3: In the case of 2 or more applications that cannot be separated by the oversubscription criteria outlined then the school will determine who gets offered the place as follows: a. the child living closest to the school will be given priority for admission. Distance is measured in a straight line by a Geographical information System (GIS) method from the geocoded point of the school site to the geocoded point of the pupil's home. b. Random allocation by drawing lots supervised by someone independent of the school will be used as a tie-break to decide who has highest priority for admission if in two or more cases the children’s homes are equidistant from the school. c. However, if children of multiple births (twins and triplets) are tied for the final place, those siblings will be admitted over PAN.
School Admission Arrangements for Somerset based schools within the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership 2027-28 (Admissions Policy, Issued: February 2026) (the school's own arrangements, read 1 Oct 2026). Places split: none (single ordered list) Distance: In all cases, distances will be measured in a direct line from the address point of the child’s home address to the address point of a school as defined by the Local Land & Property Gazeeter (LLPG). Measurements will be determined using the Local Authority’s GIS computerised mapping system. The GIS system used within this LA would not be able to calculate a staircase measurement in the case of multi-level dwellings. If the distance between two children’s homes and the school is exactly the same then a random allocation would be used for any such cases. Determined: not stated ('Issued: February 2026')
