Looked after and previously looked after children — A 'looked after child' or child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order. 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 its social services functions. This includes children who appear to the Admission Authority to have been in state care outside of England but ceased to be so as a result of being adopted only; 2.

Distance — Other children by distance from the school, with priority for admission being given to those who live nearest to the school as measured by a straight line. The school offers 240 places at this entry point. Tie-break: In each criterion above, if there are more applicants fulfilling the criterion than there are places available then priority will go to children living nearest the school as measured by a straight line. If the distance between two or more children's home addresses and the school is the same then random allocation will be used, independently verified.
