No. Distance only counts when Whytrig Middle School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by the local authority, Northumberland, 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.
Whytrig Middle School had 327 pupils aged 9 to 13 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 360. It is a mixed school.
