Oversubscription policy —  Candidates will only be considered eligible for admission if they are deemed to be of selective ability as a result of the testing process with a score of 220 or above.

  2. Children who are eligible for the full Pupil Premium who achieve the qualifying score, by rank order of standardised score, but limited to, up to 20 places in this category. Children who are unsuccessful in this category may nevertheless achieve a place in the remaining category.

  3.  Any remaining places will then be awarded in rank standardised score order for those students who have qualified for entry, up to the total number of children intended to be admitted under the published admission number.

In the event of a tie, priority will be given to the child with the shortest distance from their home to the school.
