Last distance offered at The Polesworth School, 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: Within each criterion priority is given in order of distance between the child's home and school. (shortest distance = highest priority). Distance will be calculated by straight line measurement from the address point location coordinate of the applicant's home address (as set by Ordnance Survey) to the centre point ('centroid') of the school in question. Where required, individual priority for such applicants within a particular criterion will be set by random allocation (lottery).
Priority area is the parishes of Newton Regis, Seckington, Shuttington, Austry, Warton, Freasley, Polesworth, Dordon and Grendon. Children of staff qualify where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time of application and/or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skills shortage. Sixth Form (Year 12) external PAN is 70 with overall Sixth Form capacity of 350.
