Tiebreaks: If more children qualify for a school place under a particular rule than there are places available, then the next rule will be applied to those children. A tiebreak will also be used if 2 applications have addresses that measure the same distance from a school. For example, if 2 applications had identical home to school distance measurements, a random tiebreak would be used to decide which applicant is offered a place
