Where the number of applications is greater than the published admission number; after the allocation of children with an EHC plan, the admission criteria will be applied in the following order of priority: 1. Children who are Looked After or Previously Looked After and those who immediately after being looked after became subject to adoption, a child arrangement order, or special guardianship order. 2. Children with a sibling already on-roll at Ada Lovelace CofE High School when they apply. A sibling relation does not apply when the child currently on roll will leave the school before the sibling starts. 3. 10% of places for children showing an aptitude for language. Places will be allocated in order of ranked assessment score. 4. The remaining places will be allocated in accordance with the Tie Breaker arrangements (see below). Tie breaks Distance will be used as the first ‘tie-breaker’ if two or more applicants are equally qualified for a place within the oversubscription criteria. Distance is measured in a straight line from home to the nodal point which is the centre point of the school’s permanent site, Park View Road, Ealing W5 2JX (Easting 518492 Northing 181419), using the Local Authority’s computerised mapping system based on ordnance survey data. In cases where applicants live equidistant from the school, the available place will be allocated using a random computer selection by Ealing Local Authority. Multiple birth and same year siblings In cases where only one place is available and twins or multiple- birth children tie for the last available place, then both or all will be offered even if this exceeds the published admission number. Where one twin has an Education, Health and Care plan that names the school, the other twin will be treated as having a sibling link for that academic year. Waiting lists If Ada Lovelace Church of England High School cannot offer a place you will be offered the opportunity of placing your child’s name on the waiting list. This waiting list will be maintained by the school strictly in the order of the oversubscription criteria and not in the order in which the applications are received. If a place becomes available, the child who is first on the waiting list will be offered a place. Whenever a child joins the waiting list the list will be reordered in accordance with the oversubscription criteria above. The waiting list will run until the end of the school year.
