Things to know before you apply for September 2027
- Under the 2025-26 and 2027-28 policies the order is: looked-after; medical/social; siblings, wherever they live; children of staff (at most one place per form of entry); the priority area; then everyone else by distance.
- Earlier policies (e.g. 2020-21) split siblings into those inside the priority area, ranked above it, and those outside, ranked below it.
- Children with an education, health and care plan (EHCP) naming the school are admitted first.
This school gives priority to its priority area
Children living in the school’s priority area rank ahead of others. We can’t check priority area boundaries yet, so we haven’t judged your chances here. Check the school’s and the council’s guidance.

Yes.
