For the purposes of this criterion, siblings are defined as a brother or sister sharing at least one parent and who is normally resident at the same address. This includes adopted children and those living in the same home under a recognised fostering arrangement; 3. Children of staff — THIRD PRIORITY is given to children of staff (includes support and teaching staff on a permanent contract) at the school where the member of staff is the legal parent / guardian of that child and: (i) been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, or (ii) have been recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage, and 1 further criteria. Tie-break: If a tie-break is necessary to determine which child is admitted, places will be allocated by random allocation. Random allocation will not be applied to multiple birth siblings (twins and triplets etc.) from the same family tied for the final place.
