Admission criteria at Franciscan Primary School
If more children apply than there are places, the 2026 admission rules offer places in this order:
- Children living inside the priority area with a brother or sister at the school on the date of admission.
- Other children living inside the priority area, by straight-line distance from home to school.
- Other children living outside the priority area, by straight-line distance from home to the centre of the school site.
Our data doesn’t include separate rules for every year, so where a year’s rules are missing we use the nearest year’s.
Read the official rules: Franciscan Primary School: admissions criteria 2027-2028. The school’s own published arrangements always take priority over our summary.
Less predictable
The distance cut-off has moved a lot from year to year (between 1,083 m and 2,355 m, or 0.67 and 1.46 miles). Treat past cut-offs here with extra caution.

From our reading of the council’s figures and the school’s admission arrangements. Always check the official rules: Franciscan Primary School: admissions criteria 2027-2028.

Questions about Franciscan Primary School
How far away do you need to live to get into Franciscan Primary School?
Franciscan Primary School gives priority to children living in its priority area, ahead of distance, so whether you live inside it matters as well as how far away you are. In 2026, the last place offered under the distance criterion went to a child living 1,083 m (0.67 miles) away. In the two years with a distance cut-off (2024 and 2026), it ranged from 1,083 m (0.67 miles) (2026) to 2,355 m (1.46 miles) (2024). In 2022, 2023 and 2025, everyone who applied was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher. Cut-offs move each year with the number of applicants and siblings, so treat these as a guide to past years, not a promise.
Do siblings get priority at Franciscan Primary School?
Yes, for families in the priority area. Under the 2026 admission rules, children living in the priority area with a brother or sister at the school come ahead of other children in the priority area. Check the school’s admission arrangements for who counts as a sibling.
Has everyone who applied to Franciscan Primary School been offered a place in past years?
In 2022, 2023 and 2025, yes: everyone who applied to Franciscan Primary School was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher. In 2024 and 2026, places ran out, so not everyone was offered a place.
