Each school has a set of rules, often called an over-subscription policy or admissions criteria. If a school is over-subscribed it will use these rules when allocating places.
West Sussex community and controlled schools

There are some community and controlled schools where the criteria are different, which are given in the document.

Academies, church-aided, foundation and free schools
Academies, church-aided, foundation and free schools are their own admissions authority, so have their own policy.
Admission arrangements, which include over-subscription policies and, where applicable, a supplementary information form and priest or church form, are available on the school's website.
You must complete an online application naming the school, as well as the school’s own forms if necessary, or your application cannot be considered.
