Headteachers will have the direction to include sons, or in years 12-13 if they previously attended in years 7-11 for at least one year. 3. Remaining places are offered on a geographical basis measuring distance in a straight line from the school.

Up to 15% of places are offered under Governors' criteria: 1. sons of former pupils of Christ's College, 2. Sons of previous staff of Christ's college.

In the event of their being more pupils eligible for consideration than there are places available, preference will be given on a geographical basis, using a map and measuring distance in a straight line from the school.
