If there are more children in any of the individual categories than there are places remaining, then those pupils who live nearest to the school by a straight line (radial) measure, will have priority. The distance is measured using a geographical information system and the measurement is taken from the centre point of the property to the centre point of the school. In the event of a tied distance measurement between address points the Local Authority system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s).
