How Does Place Allocation Work?

Where qualifying applications exceed the number of places available, places will be allocated in the following order of priority:

  1. A ‘looked after child’ or previously looked after child.

  2. Girls who qualify for Pupil Premium whose normal home address is in the catchment area of the school.

  3. Up to 12 places to qualified disadvantaged girls, resident in the Catchment Area, who are in receipt of the Pupil Premium, or who are LAC/Post-LAC, or IAPLAC5 at the time of application.

  4. Girls who have exceptional medical or social needs which can only be met at the school.

  5. Daughters of staff who work at the school.

  6. Sisters of girls who are on the roll of the school.

  7. Girls living in Catchment Area A.

  8. Girls living in Catchment Area B.

  9. Once the above rules have been applied, any further places will be offered in distance order, using the distance between the girl’s normal home address and the School’s main entrance gate, offering the closest first, using the method applied by Buckinghamshire Council.
