This address point will be within the body of the property and usually located at its centre

 Where the cut-off point is for addresses within the same building, then the single measure between address points will apply and a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s).

Transport

Parents in any doubt over the distance between home and school for the provision of transport are asked to check with their local area education office. This may be particularly relevant if you live close to a county border.
