3 Tie-breakers:
Where applicants are of equal
standing within each of 2.1. – 2.8
above, the following sub-criteria will
apply in priority order:
3.1 Within each of groups 2.1. to 2.8
above, preference will be given to
applicants who have a sibling who
will be attending La Retraite School
at the time of the applicant’s
admission. A sibling is defined as a
full sister or step/half sister living at
the same address, a child who is
living as part of the family by reason
of a court order or a child who has
been placed with foster carers as a
result of being ‘looked after’ by the
local authority.
3.2 Priority will then be given on the
basis of distance between the child’s
home and the school, measured
by a straight line. This measurement
will be made using a computerized
mapping system. This measurement
will be from a central point from the
child’s home as identified by the
software to a central point in the
school as profiled in the software,
which will be that used by Lambeth
LA. The child’s home address will be
the child’s permanent home address
and will not be the address of a
relative or carer, unless they have
legal custody of the child.
Applications must be made from a
single address.
Appeal arrangements
Unsuccessful applicants will have the
right to appeal against the decision
to an Independent Admissions
Appeals Panel established under the
School Standards and Framework
Act 1998. Independent appeals for
this school are arranged by school
staff, please telephone the school for
an appeals form.
