Particular medical or social need — Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school. A panel of HCC officers will make the decision for these claims; 3.

Tie-break: If more children qualify under a particular rule than there are places available, a tie-break will be used by applying the next rule to those children.

The tie-break is administered independently of the school.
