Catchment area — Plymouth High School for Girls does not have a catchment area however in the case of a tie, the location and distance of the child’s house to the school may be used to make the final decision, with the closest given priority.

Oversubscription policy — Before the application of oversubscription criteria, eligible students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the school will be admitted. As a result of this the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly.

Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be determined as follows:

Looked after and previously looked after children who achieve a score equal to or higher than the adjusted cut off score for this school, by rank order of the highest score in the 11-plus examination.
Up to 12 places will be allocated to candidates who achieve a score equal to or higher than the adjusted cut off score for this school, by rank order of the highest score in the 11-plus examination and who qualify for the free school meals pupil premium or Ever 6 FSM2.
Other candidates by rank order of the highest score in the 11-plus examination.

To resolve any tied positions within this list the following criteria will be used (strictly in this order):

Pupils who qualify for the free school meals pupil premium or Ever 6 FSM3.
Pupils whose home address is nearest the preferred school. Measurements are taken by a straight line on a map using the Council's electronic mapping system – the shorter the distance the higher the priority.
In the event of there still being a tie, there will be a random ballot using an electronic random number generator.
