  2. Children living in the catchment area of the school.

  3. Siblings of children in Years 7 to 12 who are on the roll and will be on the roll of the school at the time of the proposed admission.

  4. Children of school staff.

  5. Children who have exceptional medical or social needs (e.g. registered young carers), which can be met only at this school, supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker, educational welfare officer or other appropriate person.

  6. Students who qualify for Pupil Premium (on census day of the academic year in which offers for places were made).

  7. Up to 6 places to children whose standardised score in the Secondary Transfer Test is up to 11 marks below the threshold required for other applicants AND is a looked after or previously looked after children living anywhere, OR other children living in the catchment area of the school who are eligible for Pupil Premium.

  8. Siblings of children who have previously been on the roll of the Royal Latin School.

  9. Once the above rules have been applied, then any further places will be offered in distance order, using the straight-line distance between the family’s normal home address, from their front door, and the school’s nearest entrance gate, offering the closest first.
