Catchment, explained
How catchment works at Bishop Vesey's Grammar School
Looked-after children first, then up to 20 Pupil Premium qualifiers by score, then all qualifiers by rank order of score; distance is only a tie-break.
Check every priority category in the school's current policy. A qualifying score on its own does not promise an offer.
