• Children from feeder primary schools - St Augustine's, St George's, St Gilbert's. Bluecoat, Malcolm Sargent, the Bythams and Uffington - who indicate Stamford Queen Eleanor School as thier first choice
• Where a child has a brother or sister already at the school
• Proximity of the child's home to school, with those living nearer being accorded the higher priority
