If all children within any of the above rules cannot be offered a place, the highest priority will be given to children living nearest to the academy within that rule. To determine who lives nearest, distance will be measured on a straight line 'crow fly' basis, using Ordnance Survey data. If, following the application of admission rules and distance, two applicants cannot be separated for a final place at a school the academy will use random allocation to determine the priority for the remaining place.
