The child must have an exceptional medical and/or social need that means that only Tewkesbury Academy is suitable for them to attend and no other local school would be suitable. A completed Exceptional Medical and/or Social Need Form (published on the Academy's website or available from the Academy's main office) must be submitted with the application for admission for inclusion in this category to be considered. Part A of this form must be completed by the parent whose details are given in the application for admission. The form must then be given to a medical or other professional (e.g. GP, hospital consultant, psychiatrist, psychologist or social worker) for completion of Part B, signing, dating and stamping, before it is submitted with the application. This form has been carefully prepared to ask questions designed to elicit information from the professional that is necessary to apply the criteria in this category. It replaces the need for separate evidence from a professional to be provided.

Tie-breaker In all oversubscription categories, where there are more applications than places available, the order in which places are allocated will be determined by reference to the distance between the child's home address and the Academy, with those living closer receiving higher priority. Where two or more distances are equal (e.g. where they live in the same block of flats), the order in which places are allocated will be determined by random lottery, which will be performed in front of a person who is independent of the Academy.
