The tie-breaker only comes into effect where there are two or more on the same score for the last place available. Otherwise if you are in one of Tonbridge & Malling Borough, Tunbridge Wells Borough or Sevenoaks District then it is purely by score.
For example if the qualifying score on offer day was 373 if your in area child scored 389 and lived 4 miles away within one of the named in-Borough / District they would get precedence over someone on 381 who lived 1 mile away. If your child scored 373 and the school didn't have enough places for all on that score then those who got 373 who were in area and closest would get the offers (most likely with the others on the same score and in-area getting an offer later on)
