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.

Each schools selection criteria is set out in the handbook. St Christophers criteria does state;
"Those children who have a sibling attending the school on the date
of application and on the date of admission will be admitted ahead of those without a sibling."
