Faith based places (up to 20%) — As a school designated as having a Religious Character, up to 20% of places will be allocated on the basis of the Christian faith according to the following: Children whose parents/carers are regular attenders of Pioneer Churches, Southampton; 2a. who already have a sibling on roll, 2b. with exceptional medical, social or welfare needs..., 2c. living closest (using Southampton City Council's definition of straight line distance).

This process will be independently verified. However, if children of multiple birth (twins and triplets) are tied for the final place, those siblings will be admitted over PAN as permitted by infant class size rules.
