No. Distance only counts when Haddenham St Mary's Church of England School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by the local authority, Buckinghamshire, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. As a Church of England school, it can give priority to children on grounds of faith. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
