Grammar Schools

4.—(1) This regulation applies to an admission authority for a grammar school as defined by section 104 (7) of the 1998 Act.

(2) No priority need be given to a relevant looked after child where the arrangements for the admission of pupils are wholly based on selection by reference to ability and where only those pupils who achieve the highest ranked results in any selection test shall be admitted.

(3) Where paragraph (2) does not apply, the admission authority shall give first priority in its oversubscription criteria to all relevant looked after children who meet the pre-set standard of the school.
