"Applications are considered based on distance from the child's home to the school... measured in a straight line from the home address to the school using a computerised mapping system." (secondary guide, admissions criteria). The primary guide adds: distance is "measured in a straight line between the home and school addresses" using address co-ordinates, "to the centre of the school".
