Where there are more applicants than the available places within any 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, with nearer addresses having a priority over the more distant ones. This address point is within the body of the property and usually located at the centre. Where the cut-off point is for addresses within the same building, then the single measure between address points will apply and the Local Authority's system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s).

If, within any category, there are more applicants than places, available priority will be given on the basis of proximity to the school, measured in a straight line (radial) from the centre of the home to the centre of the school. In the event of a tie break, distance will be measured in a straight line (radial) from centre of the home to the centre of the school. If there is a tied distance measurement between address points, the Local Authority's system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer.
