Tie breaker
Proximity of the child’s home, as measured by the straight line distance (see Note 7)
between the home and the school with those living nearer being accorded the higher
priority, will serve to differentiate between children in criteria 1 to [ ] should the need
arise. In the event that two distance measurements are identical, the school will use
random allocation to decide which child should be offered the place. The process will
be conducted in the presence of a person independent of the school.

All Other Admissions
Admission to the school during the school year depends on whether or not there are
places available. Applications must be made via the local authority admissions
arrangements available on Stockton Borough Councils admissions webpage.
Admissions outside the normal age group will be dealt with as indicated below.

If there is a vacancy, and there is no child on the relevant waiting list with a higher
priority (according to the over-subscription criteria above), a place will be offered.

In-year admissions or admissions at the beginning of school years other than Reception
will only be considered by the Governing Body up to half a term [using the three term
year] in advance of the desired date for entry. For example for entry in January, the
application will not be considered until after the October half term break.
