    (Parental worshipping is normally taken to mean a minimum of monthly attendance at church at public worship for over at least the six months leading up to the previous September. The governors will request confirmation of this from the relevant member of the clergy or church officer. Where a family has changed churches, then information about all of them will be required.

  4. All other children

Where there are more applicants for the available places within a category, then the distance between the Ordnance Survey address points for the school and the home measured in a straight line will be used as the final determining factor, nearer addresses having priority over more distant ones.  This address point is within the body of the property and usually located at its centre. Where two addresses have the same distance, or  the cut-off point is for addresses within the same building, then the Local Authority's system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s).
