If a school receives more applications than there are places available, places will be allocated in the following priority order:
1. Applications on Exceptional Grounds
2a. Children who are normally resident in a catchment area of a school. (*see note below)
2b. Children who have been unsuccessful at obtaining a catchment area place at priority 1.
3. Applications on social grounds or on grounds of having an older brother or sister at the school at the same time
4. All other applications allocated on the actual distance measured in a straight line from the child's home to school
