Hello, I am new to the forum and would be very grateful for some help with making sense of the allocation data statistics for recent years.

I am trying to work out which comprehensive schools we might get a place at, if a grammar school application is unsuccessful.

We are in the catchment area for Severn Vale school, 1 mile from the school. The stats for 2019 states 0 places were allocated on distance alone. What does the mean - everyone in the catchment area who applied got a place? All places were allocated based on siblings etc?

I would be very grateful if someone more knowledgeable could explain!

Page 4 of the admissions policy https://www.severnvaleschool.com/attach ... 6&type=pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; only mentions actual distance in the final group - these are children who live outside the defined catchment areas and do not have siblings at the school, so presumably all the places were offered to children in higher categories

Great, thanks for your help
