If two applications tie: Priority will be given to children living closest to the school, determined by the shortest distance. Distances are calculated on the basis of a straight-line measurement between the front door of the child's home address (including the community entrance to flats) and the main entrance of the school, using the local authority's computerised measuring system, with those living nearer to the school having priority. In the event of distances being the same for two or more children, where this would determine the last place to be allocated, random allocation will be carried out and supervised by a person independent of the school. All the names will be entered into a hat, and the required number of names will be drawn out.

Within each category, siblings (brothers or sisters attending the school at time of enrolment) are given higher priority within that category. The admission authority will, where logistically possible, admit twins and all siblings from multiple births where one of the children is the last child ranked within the school's PAN. The document states the PAN is for the school year beginning September 2026 but the policy title states 2025-26.
