*A Care Leaver is someone who has been in the care of the local authority for a period of 13 weeks or more spanning their 16th birthday.

A person is Care Experienced if they have been or are currently in care or from a looked after background at any stage of their life (to meet this specific WAMS criteria, this needs to be within the last five years for a period of three months or more), including adopted children who were previously looked after. Care may have been provided in a number of ways or settings such as foster care, formal kinship care, residential care or through being looked after at home with a supervision requirement.

**Selective schools are defined as those that require entrance examinations or charge fees for admission; grammar schools are therefore classified as selective.

***Parental benefits will not be considered for applicants over the age of 21.
