in-year.
6. Children of other faiths whose membership is evidenced by
a religious leader.
7. Any other children.
Within each of the categories listed above, the following
provisions will be applied in the following order. I. The attendance of a
sibling at the school at the time of enrolment will increase the priority of an
application within each category so that the application will be placed at the
top of the category in which the application is made II. After children in (i)
above, priority will be given within each category to children living closest
to the school. Distances are measured on a straight line “crow fly” basis,
using Ordnance Survey data.
In the event of distances being the same for two or more
children where this would determine the last place to be allocated, random
allocation will be carried out and supervised by a person independent of the
school. Under random allocation, all the names will be entered into a ‘hat’ and
the required number of names will be drawn out.
