2. Brothers and Sisters still be attending Northolt High
School at the time of the sibling’s admission (brother
and sister refer to all blood, half, foster, step and
adoptive brothers and sisters (not cousins) who live at
the same home address as the child and in the same
family unit on a permanent basis or for the majority of
time in any calendar year. A sibling relationship does
not apply when the older child(ren) will leave before the
younger one starts).
3. Exceptional medical circumstances relating to the child.
Applicants must send a supporting letter or report from
the child’s consultant at the time of application. If this
is not done then we will not consider the application
under this criterion.
4. Exceptional personal circumstances. You must include
any personal circumstances you want us to consider at
the time of application. If this is not done then we will
not consider the application under this criterion.
5. Children who live within closest proximity to the school

Tie breaks
In the event of there being insufficient vacancies to admit
all applicants in all of the categories detailed above, priority
will be given to children whose parents’/legal guardians’
residential address is the shortest distance from the centre
of the school site, as measured by a straight line. In those
instances, where applicants have the same priority on
distance, the tie-breaker shall be random allocation.
