Things to know before you apply for September 2027
- Less predictable The distance cut-off has moved a lot from year to year (between 1,083 m and 2,355 m, or 0.67 and 1.46 miles). Treat past cut-offs here with extra caution.
- After looked-after children and exceptional medical/social need, siblings inside the area come first, then other children inside the area by distance.
- Both groups rank ahead of siblings living outside the area, then everyone else by distance.
- The cut-off distances shown apply only to children living outside the priority area.

Questions about Franciscan Primary School
How far away do you need to live to get into Franciscan Primary School?
Franciscan Primary School gives priority to children living in its priority area, ahead of distance, so whether you live inside it matters as well as how far away you are. In 2026, the last place offered under the distance criterion went to a child living 1,083 m (0.67 miles) away. In the two years with a distance cut-off (2024 and 2026), it ranged from 1,083 m (0.67 miles) (2026) to 2,355 m (1.46 miles) (2024). In 2022, 2023 and 2025, everyone who applied was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher. Cut-offs move each year with the number of applicants and siblings, so treat these as a guide to past years, not a promise.
