<strong>Admission</strong>s <strong>to</strong> primary school in <strong>2011</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />
Tie breaker<br />
When we use the admission criteria, more children might fall in<strong>to</strong> a particular category than the<br />
number of places left. If this happens we use the tie breaker <strong>to</strong> decide who is given a place.<br />
Places will be given <strong>to</strong> the children who live nearest <strong>to</strong> the school. We measure this distance:<br />
From the child’s home address in a straight line <strong>to</strong> the centre point of the school site as<br />
determined by the Local Authority<br />
Using the GIS system which is based on Ordnance Survey maps<br />
In cases where there are two or more children with the same distance measurement (for<br />
example if more than one child lives in a block of flats), where <strong>to</strong> admit another child would<br />
breach the infant class size regulations, a system will be used <strong>to</strong> randomly pick who will be<br />
offered a place. Please contact the school if you would like more information about this.<br />
If the last place at the school is for one of twins (or triplets, and so on), other twin or triplet will be<br />
offered a place <strong>to</strong>o. But it is not possible <strong>to</strong> do this if it would mean infant class sizes go over the<br />
legal limit. In this situation, we will offer the place that is available and you can decide which<br />
child will take up the place. At the same time your home local authority will tell you which other<br />
school could take all the children.<br />
