Where applications for admission at age 11 exceed the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied, in the order set out below, to decide on which children to admit:
Tiebreaker: If there are more applicants which meet a criterion than there are places remaining, priority will be given within that criterion to children who live nearest to the school based on distances supplied by the LA.
NB: The governing body will consider application forms from students who seek admission at age 10. Supporting evidence will be required to show that he or she is likely to cope academically and socially with early entry.
