  1. Looked after children and all previously looked after children. 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) at the time of making an application to a school.  Previously looked after children are children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order);

  Children with exceptional medical or social need. This category includes:
  2.1  Children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. A child is regarded as having been in state care in a place outside of England if they were accommodated by a public authority, a religious organisation or any other provider of care whose sole purpose is to benefit society.
  2.2  Other children with an exceptional medical or social need for a place at this school. Applicants will only be considered under this heading if the parent/carer or their representative can demonstrate that only the preferred school can meet the exceptional medical or social needs of the child. The need must be specific to the school: a child may have very challenging circumstances that require additional support but if that support could be provided at another school, there would be no exceptional need to attend this school. The exceptional need could be due to the parent/carer’s circumstances. Evidence provided can be in the form of a testimony from a medical practitioner, social worker or other professional who can support the application on an 'exceptional' basis. Without satisfactory supporting evidence, we will not prioritise an application as demonstrating exceptional need. It is not expected that a parent/carer would seek a claim under exceptional medical or social need for a school that is not the first ranked preference school.
            Exceptional medical or social need could include, for example:

  • a serious medical condition, which can be supported by medical evidence

  a significant caring role for the child which can be supported by evidence from social services;
  Exceptional need for admission here will not be accepted on the grounds that:

  • a child may be separated from a friendship group;

  parents wish to avoid a child from the current or previous setting;
  transport arrangements would have to be changed;
  the child has a particular interest or ability in a subject or activity.

  1. Children with a sibling already attending this school at the time of admission. Children will be classed as siblings if they live in the same household in a single family unit. This includes for example, full, half, step, or adoptive brothers or sisters;

  Children whose parent/carer is a member of staff employed on a permanent contract directly at this school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made or where the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage evidenced by completion of the staff supplementary information form¹. (This covers staff working at the school to which the application relates but does not include staff who work on the school site for other employers);
  Other children not shown in higher oversubscription criteria.
