the applicant’s home to the school will be measured by straight
line from a point in the property determined by Ordnance
Survey to the main gates. If 2 or more children have equal
priority after applying all the criteria then the Local Authority’s
admission system will undertake a random allocation.
Multiple births/siblings in same year group
Where a final place is offered to a child who has a twin
or sibling(s) applying for a place in the same school year,
these siblings will also be admitted. This would mean,
the Governing Body would admit above PAN that year
without prejudice.

maintained for one academic year from the date of proposed

admitted according to the published oversubscription
criteria regardless of when the application was received
