Children in Local Authority Care or Previously in Local Authority Care — A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of making an application to a school.

Current Family Association — A brother or sister in the same school at the time of entry where the family continue to live within close proximity – within a one-mile radius - to the school as when the sibling was admitted; 3. Proximity of children's homes to school — We use the distance between the child's permanent home address (defined in KCC's annual admissions prospectus) and the school, measured in a straight line using the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) address point. The school offers 30 places at this entry point. Tie-break: If a tie-break is necessary to determine which child is admitted in any category, the child living closest to the school will be given priority for admission. Random allocation will be used as a tie-break in order to decide who has highest priority for admission if the distance between a child's home and the school is equidistant in any two or more cases and this process will be overseen by an independent panel.
