Looked after and previously looked after children — Highest priority will be given to looked after children (LAC) and all previously looked after children (PLAC), including those children who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted (IAPLAC) and who apply for a place at the school; 2. Children of staff employed by the Trust — Children of a member of staff employed across the Prince Albert Community Trust where the member of staff has been employed by the Trust for two or more years continuous service, that are working on site at the school at the time of application; 3. Siblings at the school — Priority will next be given to children with siblings at the school (children who have an elder sibling in attendance at the school and who will still be attending the school at the proposed admission date and where the children are living at the same permanent address), and 1 further criteria. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: In the case of two or more applications that cannot be separated by the oversubscription criteria outlined above, the school will use the distance between the school and a child's home as a tie breaker to decide between applicants. Priority will be given to children who live closest to the school. Distance will be measured in a straight line from the child's home address to the school's front gates. A child's home address will be considered to be where he/she is resident for the majority of nights in a normal school week. Where the distance between two children's homes and the school is the same, random allocation will be used to decide between them.
