- Looked after children or a child who was previously looked after, but immediately after being looked after became subject to adoption, the child arrangement order, or special guardianship order or those children who appear to the school to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted, then

- Children living within the school's geographical priority area, then

The distance criterion will be used as the tie breaker if there is oversubscription within any of the admission criteria it is a straight line (radial) measure.
If the local authority is unable to distinguish between applicants using the published criteria (e.g. Siblings, those living the same distance from home to school, or families residing in the same block of flats) places will be offered via a random draw.
The distance measure is a straight-line measurement (radial) between the applicant's home address points and the address point of the school (co-ordinates provided by ordnance survey data).
