For the 3 years quoted above the admission policy was slightly different to that which applies in subsequent years. Priority used to be given under "ease of access" to those living in the Designated Transport Area before actual distance from home to school but Lincolnshire changed to use distance from home to school alone after a challenge to the Schools Adjudicator over another school (contravening Greenwich judgement).

Hi i am new to this 11+ forum but im looking for some advice with regard to Queen Elizabeth High School in Gainsborough.
My son is preparing to sit his tests in sept this yr (2012).
We live according to the AA route planner 13.7 miles away. However using the Ordnance Maps we live 13.4 miles away.
I wondered if anyone knew how the school work out the distance as no one at the school would confirm where they obtain this information.

Regards

Hi Angie - AA route planner is closer to the real thing than the ordnance survey, but the school uses microsoft map software which is to three or four decimal places. I'm admittedly a bit over thorough on my research for this school as we are 13.9 miles away (hence the FOI requests) and I have gone through the process this year for my DD and my DS will sit the test in September.
