DISTANCE MEASUREMENT

The distance criterion will be used as the tie breaker if there is oversubscription within any of the admission criteria; it is a straight line (radial) measure.

If Governors are unable to distinguish between applicants using the published criteria (eg. Siblings, those living the same distance from home to school, or families residing in the same block of flats) places will be offered via a random draw. 7 The distance measure is a straight-line measurement (radial) between the applicant’s home address points and the address point of the school (co-ordinates provided by ordnance survey data).

Where there are places available for some, but not all applicants within a particular criterion, allocation will be made on a random basis with lots drawn.
