If there are more applications than places available, then the following oversubscription criteria are applied in order of priority:
1.    Children in public care and other children who are deemed by the Council´s Fair Access  
       Panel to have a particular need that justifies priority;
2.    Children who have an exceptional medical, social, religious, philosophical or educational
       need requiring attendance at a particular school rather than any other school;
3.    Children who have siblings (by which is meant full, step-, half- and adopted siblings living in
       the same household) at the school at the point of admission;
4.    Children who attend a linked primary or junior school;
5.    Children living closest to the preferred school, measured by the shortest route by road or
       publicly maintained footpath, accompanied as necessary, from the middle of their home to
