Yes. The ‘over-subscribed’ priority order is;
- Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan
- Looked after children or children who were previously looked after
- Children with a brother and sister already at the school
- Children who live nearest to the school
(Taken from Birmingham City Council document ‘Admissions arrangements for community and voluntary controlled schools for 2020/2021’. This document also states that ‘Within each of the categories above, priority is given to those who live nearest to the school’ and that ‘Admission to a nursery school or nursery class does not give the child any priority or an extra right to transfer... to the school to which the nursery is linked or attached. A separate application must be made.’)
