Where qualifying applications exceed the number of places available, places will be allocated in the following order of priority:
Looked after or previously looked after children.
10% of places will be allocated based on the straight line distance measurement provided by Hertfordshire County Council’s computerised mapping system, closest first.
Children with a sibling attending the school and residing at the same family household from Monday to Friday at the time of application.
Children with a parent who is a current employee at Parmiter's School with at least two years service at the time of application and/or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
Children for whom it can be demonstrated that there is a compelling medical reason for attending the school.
25% of places shall be available in merit order by reference to academic ability. In order to be considered under this criterion, a verbal reasoning test and a mathematics test must have been taken, the results of which will be used to assess academic ability. No minimum score will be required to gain admission, places being offered strictly in descending order of each applicant's standardised test score.
Up to 10% of places to be allocated on the basis of proven aptitude in music to be determined by prescribed tests.
Remaining places will be allocated on the basis of proximity to the school.
