TIE-BREAKER
Where there are more applicants received than places available under any of the above criteria then the distance between the school and the home will be used as the final determining factor. The distance criterion is a straight line (radial). Where the cut-off point is for addresses within the same building, then the single measure between address points will apply and the Trust system of a random draw between the applicant's home address point and the address point of the school will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s) as an effective, clear and fair tie breaker.
