ii) Children whose normal residence is within the school’s priority areas and whose parent or parents can also prove that they worship in different Christian denominations, and are currently active members of their different Churches

iii) Children whose normal residence is nearest the school, using the straight line home school distance measurement provided by Hertfordshire County Council 

Rule 6: Distance from the school

Tiebreaker: If there are more applicants meeting a rule than there are places available, the subsequent rules will be applied in order as a Tie Break.

NOTES

In cases where the application of the admissions criteria would result in twins or siblings of a multiple birth being allocated to different schools, one of which is St. George’s School, the Governors will admit over the published admission number to avoid this occurrence.
