If there are more applicants to a school than places available, priority will be given in the following order:
First priority will go to children with an education, health and care (EHC) plan naming the school.
After this, if there are more applicants than places available, priority will be given in the following order to:
(1) Looked after children and previously looked after children who have been adopted or become subject to a child arrangements or special guardianship order, immediately following having been looked after.
(2) Children who have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
(3) Children or their immediate family member with a chronic medical or social need for a particular school.
(4) Children who have a sibling (brother or sister) living at the same address who will be attending the school at the time of the child’s admission.
(5) Other children based on home to school distance.
