by the Local Authority as children in public care subject to

previously looked after but immediately after being looked
after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or

Exceptional need
Governors reserve the right to give priority to children who have
documented social or medical needs and are resident in the parish
of Greenford Magna. Copies of any documentation must be
included with the SIF. The Governors will consider each case on its
merits. Applications under this priority must be accompanied by a
letter from a Consultant or Social Worker detailing how the school
will fulfil the needs of the child and the difficulties that would be
caused if they had to attend another school.
Tie break
In all categories, if after applying the criteria, two or more children
have equal priority, the child who lives nearest the school will be
given priority. The distance from home to school is measured by a
straight-line, from a point in the property to a point in the school
determined by the grid references for the centre of the school’s
postcode, as calculated by the Ealing Local Authority . In the event
of a tie we will operate a random allocation by drawing lots
Supplementary information form (SIF)
A Supplementary Information Form (SIF) must be completed
and given to the school together with proof of address by the
closing date.
