OOC with siblings - AHS

[WillowFae]

Daughter has just qualified although we live just outside of catchment. We do however have a son at AGS. I was looking on the allocation profile spreadsheet on this forum and it gives the following order as being what MOST schools use.

In area siblings
In area
Out of area siblings
Out of area

Looking at the AHS website their admissions policy says:

Siblings at AHS
Siblings at AGS
In area
Out of area

Does this mean that even though we are OC that we would get priority over in catchment girls with no siblings? It doesn't specify 'in area' for sibling rules.

Yes, you take priority.

Thank you. The Bucks/MK border goes through the middle of our estate and we are about 200 yards the wrong side!

Will your son be at AGS next September? If he's in year 13 now, the sibling rule won't apply.

Yes, it's 'on roll'. He has just started Year 9

That's good. My daughter has been very happy at AHS so I hope yours will be.

DCHS and DCGS does not have this kind of cross sibling arrangement - am I right ?

I don't think they do, probably because they are a couple of miles apart in different towns, whereas AHS and AGS are next to each other.

Correct. It's only the two Aylesbury schools.
