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).

This is a federation-wide policy covering multiple schools within Embark Federation, each with individual PANs listed in the document. The document does not specify which single school this policy applies to — it applies to all schools in the federation. EHCP children naming the school are admitted before the oversubscription criteria apply. In cases where the last available place pertains to a single place of residence from which two or more applications have been received, allocation is made by drawing of lots supervised by someone independent of the school.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
