Make schools that give admission priority to siblings to prioritise all siblings

We want the Government to legislate so that where a schools prioritises siblings in its admissions policy, they must include all siblings, even those who do not live at the same address. This should include all siblings with regular contact or court ordered contact.

Currently, schools are allowed to decide their own approach to sibling priority for admissions. This can mean that siblings living at other addresses are excluded. I think that this can lead to discrimination against separated families where siblings still want to attend the same school.
