This is information which would need to be gathered directly from the school. The oversubscription states siblings at the time of application so this information is not held by the LA.

8. How many twins sets of twins were given places this year?

LCC do not hold data on how many sets of twins applied, as parents do not need to declare this if they do not wish to.

10. How many schools in our area take catchment area as part of their admissions criteria? -

- Ruskin uses Zones to allocate places. West Grantham Academy has a criteria of ‘nearest school’ which operates like a catchment area.
