  7. Children whose parents are in regular attendance at public worship at a church which is a member of  Churches Together.
  8. Four places will be allocated to any children based on geographical proximity to the school.
  9. Children from whom the governors accept there are exceptionally strong medical, social or welfare reasons for admission, which are directly relevant to St John with St Michael.
  10. Other children with priority based on geographical proximity to  the school.

If oversubscribed in any of the above categories the distance to the child’s home front door from the main gate of the school in a straight line measured on a map will be used as the tiebreaker, nearer addresses having priority over more distant ones. In the event of a tied distance measurement between address points the Local Authority’s system of a random draw will be used as a final tiebreaker to determine which children receive the offer(s). This will be supervised by someone independent of the school.
