A 'previously looked after child' is a child who was looked after in England, but ceased to be so because they were adopted, or became subject to a child arrangements or special guardianship order, as well as a child who appears to us to have been in state care outside of England, but ceased to be so as a result of being adopted; 2. Children with a sibling at Charlton Wood Primary Academy — The sibling must attend Charlton Wood Primary Academy in Reception Year to Year 6 at the time of application/the application deadline and when the applicant child is admitted. Sibling defined as full, half, adopted, long term foster, step sibling, or child of parent's cohabiting partner, living at the same home address as part of the same core family unit; 3.

Where two or more children live an equal distance from the academy, the order in which places are allocated will be determined by random allocation supervised by someone who is independent of the academy.
