If the criterion 'living in catchment' is not further subdivided into 'IC with sibling' and just 'IC', and comes above 'has a sibling on roll', and the tie-break within any criterion is distance, then the IC apicant nearer to the school would be offered before theIC applicant further away, the sibling in this case being irrelevant.My interpretation is that child 1 would get the place as they live in catchment AND have a sibling at the school. If they didn't have a sibling, the distance criterion would then apply and child 2 would get the place.
That's certainly how it works outside the catchment area, at any rate. The allocation to non-catchment siblings this year went out as far as 7.459 miles, with non-catchment non-siblings not getting any places at all, even if they lived nearer.
