-
Looked after children;

Children who have a sibling* currently enrolled at the school;
-
Proximity of the child's home to the school, using the straight line distance , with those living nearest being accorded the higher priority.

an older sibling must be attending the school at the time the application for the younger child is submitted and there must be a reasonable expectation that the older child will still be at the school at the time the younger one is admitted;
-
A sibling includes a child living in the same family unit in the family household and address. This includes brothers and sisters and stepbrothers and sisters. Additionally, biological siblings are treated as siblings irrespective of residence.
