was the furthest place offered on offer day for 2026-27 (Year 7). That is how far the last place reached in ONE year — not a boundary, and not a guarantee. It moves with the number of applicants, so treat it as a guide rather than a line on a map.
Last distance offered at St John the Baptist Catholic Comprehensive School, Woking, year by year →
When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: Priority is given to children living closest to the school, by shortest straight-line distance from the Ordnance Survey address point of the student's address to the School Gate, using the Surrey Admissions Team's Geographical Information System. In the event of distances being the same for two or more children where this would determine the last place, random allocation is carried out and supervised by a person independent of the school (names drawn from a hat).
The document's own title is 'St John the Baptist Catholic Secondary School' (used as school_name above); the council's index/user_message names it 'St John the Baptist Catholic Comprehensive School, Woking' - a close but not identical form, both plausibly referring to the same school. The admission authority is The Xavier Catholic Education Trust. Within each of the 10 categories, two further provisions apply in order ahead of the rest of that category: (i) a sibling on roll at the school at the time of enrolment moves an application to the top of its category; (ii) a child of qualifying staff (2+ years employed, or recruited for a demonstrable skill shortage) then moves to the top of the remainder of that category. The admission authority admits twins and all multiple-birth siblings where one is the last child ranked within the PAN. There is a SEPARATE admissions policy and procedure for the school's Sixth Form (not included in this document), so no Year 12 entry is given here. Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted under a separate procedure, reducing places available to others (not itself a numbered 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.
