Where the number of applications is more than the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit.

1. Looked after children and previously looked after children including those children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
2. There is a brother or sister at the school who will still be attending when the child is due to start.
3. Straight line distance from the home to the school, priority given to those who live closest.

If distance is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants for the last place then a lottery will be conducted.

See the school’s full admissions policy for more information.
