If, within any category, there are more applicants than places available priority will be given on the basis of proximity to the school. The distance measure is 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 Councils’ Geographic Information System.

In the event of a tied distance measurement between address points the Local Authority's system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s).
