The distance from home to school is measured by the
shortest walking route using public highways and lit
footpaths only, but excludes common land and public
open spaces. It does not take into account access by public
transport or any private vehicle.
This measuring policy will also be used when measuring
distances to other schools, to es tablish if Drayton Manor
High School is an applicant’s nearest Ealing High School
If two or more children have equal priority under criterion
1 or 2, the distance criterion set out in 3 or 4 above will be
applied. If two or more children have equal priority under
criterion 3 or 4 places will be randomly allocated.
