Looked after / previously looked after children — A 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order, including those who appear to us to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted; 2. Children of school staff — Children of all school staff, up to one place per form of entry i.e. a school with an intake of 90 will have up to three places available for children of all staff. Places allocated first to children of staff recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage, then to children of staff employed at the school for two or more years at the time of application, ranked by distance; 3. Siblings on roll — Children with siblings who are already on roll in the main school in Reception to Year 6 (not a nursery class attached to the school) and will still be on roll when the child is admitted. If the address has changed after the date the last child on roll was offered their place, and the distance is now greater than one mile from the school, this priority criterion will not apply, unless the new address, whilst still over a mile away, is closer to the school than the previous address, and 2 further criteria.
