A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989).

(2) Children with a sibling attending the school at the time of application who live in the catchment area. Sibling is defined in these arrangements a children who live as brother or sister in the same house, including natural brothers or sisters, adopted siblings, stepbrothers or sisters and foster brothers and sisters.

(3) Children who live in the school’s catchment area.

(4) Children with a sibling attending the school at the time of application who live outside of the catchment area.

(5) Children with a parent that works at the school (who has been employed for at least 2 years at the time of application)

(6) Children that live outside the catchment area of the school.

 

In the event of the school being oversubscribed (in relation to any of the above criteria) priority for admission will be given to children who live nearest to the school as measured by using Ordnance Survey data to plot an address in this system. Distances are measured from the main entrance of the child’s home to the main entrance of the school.
