<strong>Admission</strong>s <strong>to</strong> primary school in <strong>2011</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />
Where there are more children in one particular criterion than the number of<br />
places available, places will be allocated <strong>to</strong> the children who live nearest the<br />
school. The distance will be measured in a straight line from the child’s home<br />
address <strong>to</strong> a central point at the school (school front entrance) using a<br />
Geographical Information System (GIS) which is based on ordnance survey.<br />
In cases where there are two or more children with the same distance<br />
measurement (for example if more than one child lives in a block of flats);<br />
where <strong>to</strong> admit another child would breach the infant class size regulations, a<br />
system will be used <strong>to</strong> randomly select who will be offered a place. Please<br />
contact school with any queries regarding this point.<br />
If we offer the last place available <strong>to</strong> one of twins (or triplets and so on), the<br />
parent/carer will be required <strong>to</strong> decide which child will take up the place.<br />
