<strong>Admission</strong>s <strong>to</strong> primary school in <strong>2011</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />

Tie breaker<br />

Where there are more applications for the available places within a category,<br />

then the distance between the GIS address points for the school and the<br />

home measured in a straight line will be used as the final determining fac<strong>to</strong>r,<br />

nearer addresses having priority over more distant ones. This address point<br />

is a predetermined point generated from the Local Authority’s GIS computer<br />

database, which is based on information from an Ordnance Survey <strong>to</strong> the front<br />

entrance of the school. Where the cut off point is for addresses within the<br />

same building, or within the same distance from the school, then the single<br />

measure between the address points will apply and the Local Authority’s<br />

system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the<br />

offer(s).<br />

NOTES:<br />

i) Professional supporting evidence from e.g. a doc<strong>to</strong>r, psychologist,<br />

social worker is essential if admission is <strong>to</strong> be made under the<br />

criterion for special medical or social circumstances, and such<br />

evidence must set out the particular reasons why the school is<br />

question is the most suitable school and the difficulties which would<br />

be caused if the child had <strong>to</strong> attend another school.<br />

iv)<br />

A map showing the boundaries is available in school.<br />

The distance between the Ordnance Survey address points for the<br />

school and the home measured in a straight line will be used <strong>to</strong><br />

determine which addresses are closest <strong>to</strong> the school.<br />

Siblings include step, half, foster, adopted brothers and sisters living<br />

at the same address as part of the same family unit.<br />

v) Churches Together in Britain and Ireland is taken on the 1 st<br />

September in the year prior <strong>to</strong> admission <strong>to</strong> the school. A list may<br />

be obtained from its website or from the school. Parental<br />

worshipping is normally taken <strong>to</strong> mean a minimum of monthly<br />

attendance at church at public worship for over at least six months<br />

prior <strong>to</strong> 1 st September in the year before admission <strong>to</strong> the school.<br />

The governors will request confirmation of this from the relevant<br />

members of the clergy or church officer. Where a family has<br />

changed churches, then information about all of them will be<br />

required.<br />
