Campion School

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.

1. 1Looked after and previously looked after children — Looked after children and children who were previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to adoption, a child arrangements order, or special guardianship order, including children who appear (to the trust) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. See note A.
2. 2Children of Staff — Children of Staff who worked at the School for over 2 years and / or have been recruited to fill a skills-shortage area. See note B.
3. 3Sibling in linked area — Pupils who live in the linked area (see below) who have an older brother or sister at Campion School at the time of application. See note D.
4. 4Linked area — Pupils whose home address is in the linked area associated with the school: The civil parishes of Astcote, Banbury Lane, Blisworth, Brington, Brockhall, Bugbrooke, Cold Higham, Dalscote, Eastcote, Flore, Fosters Booth, Gayton, Grimscote, Harpole, Kislingbury, Litchborough, Lower Heyford, Milton Malsor, Nether Heyford, Nobottle, Pattishall, Pineham Barns, Rothersthorpe, Upper Heyford, Whilton, Whilton Locks, Upton Meadows (South of Weedon Road, West of Upton Way), Weedon Bec.

6. 6Designated contributory Primary Schools — Pupils attending the designated contributory Primary Schools: Blisworth Community Primary School, Brington Primary School, Bugbrooke Primary School, Flore Church of England Primary School, Gayton C of E Primary School, Harpole Primary School, Kislingbury CE Primary School, Milton Malsor Primary School, Pattishall CE Primary School, Rothersthorpe Church of England Primary School, Charity School and Upton Meadows Primary School and continuing in attendance until the final offer of places is made. See Note F.
7. 7All other children — All other children, prioritising those who live nearest the School (see below for how distance is calculated).

If two applications tie: If the admission number is exceeded within criterion 4, priority will be given to those who live furthest from the nearest alternative state-funded secondary school. If the admission number is exceeded in any other criterion, priority will be given to those who live closest to the school. In the event that two or more applicants are tied for the final place, and the distance from home to school is identical (as measured by the agreed method), the place will be allocated using a computerised random allocation process. Random allocation will not be applied to multiple birth siblings (twins and triplets etc.) from the same family tied for the final place.

Distances are measured on a straight line basis from the address point of the child's home to the address point of the school, using a geographical information system. For criterion 4 (linked area), the tie-breaker is distance to nearest alternative state-funded secondary school (furthest wins), not proximity to Campion School.
