Previously Looked After Children are those who were previously looked after but immediately after being looked after were adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order.

2. Children with a sibling, as defined in 2.1 above, already at the academy at the time of admission including Sixth Form where they have attended Year 11.
