<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 children in one particular criterion than the number of places available,<br />

places will be allocated <strong>to</strong> the children who live nearest <strong>to</strong> the school. The distance will be<br />

measured in a straight line from the child’s home address <strong>to</strong> the main entrance of the school<br />

using the local authority Geographical Information System (GIS) which is based on ordnance<br />

survey.<br />

In cases where there are two or more children with the same distance measurement (for<br />

example if more that 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 we offer the last place available <strong>to</strong> one of twins (or triplets and so on) we will offer the place<br />

that is available and you can decide which child will take up the place.<br />
