Looked after children and previously looked after children — Looked after children and children who were previously looked after but ceased to be so by reason of adoption; residence order (now known as Child Arrangements Order); Child Arrangements Order or Special Guardianship Order; 2. Previously looked after children outside England — Children who appear to the Admission Authority to have been in state care (i.e. in the care of or accommodated by a public authority, religious organisation or any other provider whose sole/main purpose is to benefit society) outside of England but ceased to be so as a result of being adopted only; 3. Pupil Premium eligible children — Children eligible for the pupil premium. Children given priority under this criterion fall into the following category: Children currently registered as eligible for free school meals and children who have been registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six year. Parents who are applying and wish their applications to be considered under this criterion must complete a Supplementary Information Form, and 4 further criteria. The school offers 90 places at this entry point. Tie-break: In cases of equal merit in each set of criteria, priority will be given to the children living nearest the school as measured by a straight line. In the event of: (a) two or more children living at the same address point (e.g. children resident in a block of flats) or (b) two addresses measuring the same distance from the school, the ultimate tiebreaker will be random selection, witnessed by the Council officer, independent of the Admissions Team.
