How places are given

If more families want a school than it has places, the admissions authority uses its published oversubscription criteria to decide. The order is set by the school's admissions policy, and the usual order is:

  1. Children in care and children who were previously in care.
  2. Children with a medical or social need that the school can best meet.
  3. Brothers and sisters already at the school.
  4. Children who live closest to the school, or in its catchment area.

Church schools and some others add faith or other criteria. Distances change every year because they depend on who applies, so last year's furthest distance is not a promise. Ask the school or the council for the policy that applies to the year you are applying for.

General explanation, not a statement about this school. The school's own policy and the School Admissions Code (DfE) are the authority.
