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: 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. Random allocation undertaken by the local authority or another body unconnected with the Academy Trust will be used as a tie-break to decide who has highest priority for admission if the distance between a child's home and the academy/free school is equidistant in any two or more cases.
Children named in a Statement of Special Educational Needs or Education, Health and Care Plan are allocated places before oversubscription criteria are applied.
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.
Same phase, ranked by distance and how closely they match.
