When Millbrook Infant School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after or previously looked after children — A 'looked after' or 'previously looked after child' including those children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted. 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. This includes children who were adopted under the Adoption Act 1976 (see section 12 adoption orders) and children who were adopted under the Adoption and Children's Act 2002 (see section 46 adoption orders). Child arrangements orders are defined in s.8 of the Children Act 1989, as amended by s.12 of the Children and Families Act 2014. Child arrangements orders replace residence orders and any residence order in force prior to 22 April 2014 is deemed to be a child arrangements order. See Section 14A of the Children Act 1989 which defines a 'special guardianship order' as an order appointing one or more individuals to be a child's special guardian (or special guardians); 2. Sibling at Millbrook Infant or Millbrook Junior School — A child who has a sibling at Millbrook Infant or Millbrook Junior School. This includes children who are siblings by virtue of a shared biological parent or step siblings or foster siblings or adopted siblings, who will be attending either Millbrook Infant School or Millbrook Junior School at the time of the applicant's admission to Millbrook Infant School; 3. Proximity of the child's permanent or main address — As measured in a straight line from the main entrance of the school, with those living nearer being accorded the higher priority. In the case of separated families the distance measurement of the closest address, where the child lives for some part of each week, will be used to determine the distance measurement. Tie-break: If two or more applications cannot otherwise be separated and there is only one place available, a random allocation process will be used to determine who should be allocated the place.
