Siblings — Children who will have at least one sibling attending St Chad's CE Primary School at the expected time of admission; 3. Foundation Places – Up to 50% of Remaining Places — These places will be allocated in the following priority order: a. Named local Church of England attendance: These places will be allocated to children who regularly attend, or whose parent(s) regularly attend, public worship at either one of the following Church of England churches: St Chad's Church - Far Headingley, St Mary's Church - Hawksworth Wood, St Andrew's Church – Moor Grange. b.

Tie-break: In any priority, if children meet the same priority but there are not enough places left for all of them, the places will be allocated based on distance from the school.
