    1. If any selective places remain unfilled, the Governors should consider whether any of the remaining applicants who took the selection tests are eligible to be awarded a borderline selective place. In doing so, preference will be given to those students with the highest scores in order of merit (298 or above).

  3.  Pupils who live in the catchment area served by the school and who have an older sibling attending the school.

  4. Pupils who live in the catchment area served by the school.

  5. Pupils who live outside the catchment area served by the school and who have an older sibling attending the school.

  6. Pupils who live outside the catchment area served by the school.
