• Up to 15 places go by test rank to boys living in postcodes SM1 to SM7, KT4 8, CR0 4 or CR4 4 on 31 October.
• Looked after children first. Then children of staff, then places by test rank, with no more than 110 places across these three groups at first. Then up to 25 Pupil Premium places and up to 15 places for local postcodes, both by test rank.
• Straight line distance from the centre of the home to the school's front entrance. If that is equal too, lots are drawn.
