Sixth form oversubscription criteria

Before considering any other applicants, the Governors will allocate places to students with statements or EHC (Education Healthcare) plans where the school is named.

If there are more applications than available places, the school will apply the following criteria, in the order listed, to rank the applicants and identify those to be offered places. We use the same criteria to operate the reserve list, which will operate until the end of term in December.

  1. Looked After Children and all Previously Looked After children.
  2. Siblings of Lincoln Christ’s Hospital School students at the time of application
  3. Increasing order of distance, measured in a straight line from the school.

In the event of a tie on straight line distance for the last place we would resolve the tie by a random allocation drawn by an independent person.
