Does Sir Henry Floyd Grammar School have a catchment area?

Enter your postcode into Buckinghamshire Council's catchment area checker here.
How Does Place Allocation Work?
Where qualifying applications exceed the number of places available, places will be allocated in the following order of priority:
Children looked after and those previously looked after.
Students who qualify for Pupil Premium grant.
Siblings of students at the school who are on roll and will be on the roll at the time of the proposed admission.
Children of school staff, who have been employed at the schools for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made.
Students living in the catchment area of the school.
Once the above rules have been applied, then any further places will be offered in distance order, using the distance between the family’s normal home address, from their front door, and the school using the straight line distance between the family’s normal home address and the nearest of the school’s three main entrances, using the Local Authority’s measurements. In the event of two students living at exactly the same distance, for instance with addresses in the same block of flats, a random draw will be made.
