If in any category there are more applications than places available, priority will be given on the basis of proximity to the school with the nearest home to the school given priority. This will be determined by a radial measure from the centre of the home address to the centre of the school. This will be measured as a direct straight line. In the case of an equal distance measurement a random draw will be held.
