I was under the impression that having a sibling at school does not matter these days when it comes to secondary schools. It applies at primary schools but not secondaries.

The reason being that at primary school somebody has to take and collect them and parents can't be at two schools at the same time. Once they get to secondary school it is assumed they can make their own way to and from school so it doesn't matter if siblings attend the same one.

The only secondary I have experience of is St Christopher's and this is the way they used to look at it and I assume they still do.
