No. Distance only counts when Oakley School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its academy trust, 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.
Oakley School had 377 pupils at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 1,354. It is a mixed school with no sixth form, so students move on at 16.
