1. A 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after, but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order including those who appear to this admission authority to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted
2. In the case of Roman Catholic children, the Governors reserve the right to consider special cases on their merit.
3. Roman Catholic children living in a contributory parish and attending an associated primary school.
4. Roman Catholic children living in a contributory parish and attending a Catholic primary school.
5. Roman Catholic children of staff.
6. Other Roman Catholic children living in contributory parishes.
7. Roman Catholic children not living in a contributory parish and attending an associated primary school.
8. Other Roman Catholic children.
9. In the case of non-Catholic children, the Governors reserve the right to consider special cases on their merit.
10. Non-Catholic children of staff.
11. Non-Catholic children attending St Joseph's RC Primary – Hurst Green and Thorneyholme RC Primary – Dunsop Bridge, which are the only primary providers for their village communities.
12. Children in none of the above categories who have a sibling already attending St Augustine's at the time of admission.
13. Non-Catholic children attending other associated Catholic primary schools.
14. Other non-Catholic children.

If a “tie-break” is needed within any of the above categories, precedence will be given to siblings of pupils in attendance at the school when the child applying starts, after which places will be allocated according to proximity, taking into account the availability of alternative Roman Catholic and Community Schools.  Children with a shorter journey to an alternative school will have a lower priority at St. Augustine’s. Distance is measured from the main school gates to the student’s front gate and by the safest available walking route or, for children outside walking distance, the shortest route taken by road, as measured by Routeplanner.  This method has been chosen to avoid prejudice to children in more distant parishes.
