Looked after and previously looked after children — Children looked after and children who were previously looked after, including those who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England, and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order; 2. 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; 3. Sibling — Sibling of a child already attending the school in Reception to Year 5 at the time of application, and 1 further criteria. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: In the event of over-subscription in any of the above categories, places in that category will be allocated on the basis of geographic proximity, using the local authority system explained in Hertfordshire school’s literature and website. Where there are two applicants with an equal claim to the last place available (e.g. living in a block of flats) then the lower flat number will be given priority. If there are two identical addresses of separate applicants the tiebreak will be random. Every child entered onto the HCC admissions database has an individual number assigned between 1 and 1 million for each preference school. When there is a need for a final tiebreak this random number will be used to allocate the place, with the lowest number given priority.
