Looked after children or a child who was previously looked after, but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangement order, or special guardianship order or those children who appear to the school to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted; 2. Psychological, social or medical need — Priority will next be given to children on the basis of psychological, social or medical need. For whom the trust accepts where professional evidence indicates that there are particular psychological, medical or social needs of the applicant should explain why the school is the most suitable or the only school capable of meeting all of their needs and the difficulties that would arise were the child to have to attend a different school. This evidence must be substantiated by at least two relevant qualified professionals who are currently providing direct care/support/treatment to the child on an ongoing basis in their professional capacity; 3. Children of staff — Priority will next be given to children of staff employed at the academy, in either of the following circumstances: a) The member of staff has been employed at the school for 2 or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, or b) The member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
