2. Siblings of children already at the school living in the catchment area 

3. Residence within the catchment area of the school 

4. Siblings of children already at the school living out of catchment 

5. Children living out of the catchment area who have a faith and / or whose parents are committed Church members and wish them to receive an education in a school with a Church of England foundation. They should support this application by completing the Supplementary Information Form (SIF) Within this criteria the following hierarchy will be applied: I. Anglican, II, Other Christian denomination, III. Other organised religions

6. Resident out of the catchment area of the school 

In the event of the having to use a tie-breaker to distinguish between two or more applications of equal strength, the child living the shortest distance from home to school in a straight line as the crow flies route should have priority
