No. Distance only counts when Hodge Hill Girls' School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by the local authority, Birmingham, 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. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
Hodge Hill Girls' School had 749 pupils aged 11 to 16 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 750. It is a girls' school with no sixth form, so students move on at 16.
