3 . Exceptional Medical or Social Circumstances for the first preferred school . The medical circumstances must relate to the child and parents will be expected to provide supporting evidence from a consultant who is monitoring the child ’ s condition ( not a General Practitioner [ GP ]) in relation to medical circumstances , or a social worker ( or other appropriate professionally qualified person ) in relation to social circumstances . All supporting evidence showing why education should be at the first preferred school must be submitted at the time of application . Priority under this criterion can only be given for the first preference school .

Any combination of two or more criteria gives higher priority than one criterion .

If two or more children have equal priority under the criteria , the criterion of distance set out in point 4 above will be applied .
