No. Distance only counts when St Joseph's Catholic Middle School, Hexham 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. As a Roman Catholic 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.
St Joseph's Catholic Middle School, Hexham had 168 pupils aged 9 to 13 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 360. It is a mixed school.
