2Sibling — Where the child has a sibling in the school or a sibling has already been offered a place at the school, and where the sibling will still be attending the school at the time of admission but not in a specialist unit or a specialist resource base for Hearing Impaired provision or in a nursery/pre-school.

If two applications tie: If DEMAT is unable to distinguish between applicants using the published criteria, including those who live in blocks of flats, places will be offered via a random draw which will be supervised by someone independent of the school.

Within each criterion, distance (straight-line 'as the crow flies') is used to rank applications before the random draw tie-breaker applies. Twins/multiples policy: if the final place is offered to a twin/triplet/multiple, remaining siblings will also be offered places even if this exceeds the infant class size limit of 30.
