<strong>Admission</strong>s <strong>to</strong> primary school in <strong>2011</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />
[item 5 & tie-breaker] Home (when there is shared parental responsibility for a<br />
child) means the address of the main carer. We class the main carer as the<br />
person who is eligible for child benefit. Distance means a straight-line<br />
measurement between the child’s home address and the centre of the<br />
school’s perimeter boundary. This is easured by using a geographical<br />
computer system (GIS), which is based on ordnance survey.<br />
In cases where there are two or more children with the same distance<br />
measurement, where <strong>to</strong> admit another child would breach the infant class size<br />
regulations, a system will be used <strong>to</strong> randomly pick who will be offered a<br />
place. Please contact the school if you would like more information about this.<br />
If we offer the last place available <strong>to</strong> one of twins (or triplets and so on) we will<br />
offer the place that is available and you can decide which child will take up the<br />
place.<br />
