How are Year 7 places decided at Etone College?

When Etone College has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Children in Public Care (Looked After Children) and 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 the admission authority] 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; 2. Sibling — Where a child has an older sibling currently attending the school when the application is made and who will be still attending the school at the proposed admission date. Definition: a child who resides at the same address as the child for whom a place is being requested and is one of the following: · A brother or sister sharing the same parents · Half brother or sister sharing one common parent · Stepbrother or sister (i.e. related by parent's marriage) · Any other child for whom it can be demonstrated that he or she is residing permanently at the same address (e.g. under the terms of a residency order); 3. Children of Staff employed at the Academy — Where a member of staff has been employed at The Academy two or more years at the time at which the application for admission is made/or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage. Note, this criterion does not include contract staff. If service has been 'in house' and is subsequently 'contracted out' children of staff will no longer be eligible for priority admission under this criterion, and 2 further criteria. Tie-break: In the event of an oversubscription in any of the above categories, places will be allocated according to those that live closest to Etone College as calculated on the basis of a straight-line measurement between the home address and school whose circumstances remain unchanged on the day of admission. In a tie breaker situation where two or more applicants live the same distance from the school, then the place will be determined by random allocation that will be supervised by someone independent of the school. A fresh round of random allocation will be used for each tie breaker situation.
