If, within any category, there are more applicants than places available priority will be given to those living nearest to the school measured by a straight line (radial) measure from the centre of the building that is the applicant's home address to the centre of school building. Distances are measured using the Council's Geographic Information System. If measured distance to the school cannot distinguish applications (from applicants who live in the same building for example) then a random draw would be used to resolve the matter.
