1. Looked after children and all previously looked after children, including those children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
2. Up to 30 children selected by academic ability, having taken the 11+ selection tests.
3. There is a sibling at the academy who will still be attending when the child is due to start.
4. Straight line distance from the child’s home address to the academy, priority given to those living nearest.

If distance is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants for the last place then a lottery will be conducted.

2.      Children with a sibling, including step-siblings resident at the same address, currently at either academy who will continue to do so on the date of admission.

3.      Children of all staff groups, where the member of staff has been employed at Havelock Academy (or King Edward VI Academy for the Spilsby site) on a permanent contract for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to Havelock Academy (or King Edward VI Academy for the Spilsby site) is made or where the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post at Havelock Academy (or King Edward VI Academy for the Spilsby site) for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
