<strong>Admission</strong> criteria<br />

<strong>Admission</strong>s <strong>to</strong> an Aided school are the responsibility of the Governors, in agreement<br />

with the Diocesan Board of Education and the Local Authority.<br />

In September <strong>2011</strong> the Standard number for the new intake in<strong>to</strong> school for all year<br />

groups is 60.<br />

The <strong>Admission</strong>s Panel at St. Thomas C.E. <strong>Primary</strong> <strong>School</strong> have responsibility for<br />

admissions.<br />

When applications are received, the decision on which children will be admitted will<br />

be based on the following:<br />

If the school receives more applications than places available, once places have<br />

been allocated <strong>to</strong> those children who have a statement of special educational<br />

need naming this school, the remaining places will be offered in the following<br />

order of priority:<br />

1. Children in public care (Looked after children).<br />

2. Children whose medical or social circumstances mean that their needs can only<br />

be met at this school.<br />

3. Children who will have an older brother or sister attending the St. Thomas C.E.<br />

<strong>Primary</strong> <strong>School</strong> at the time of their admission.<br />

4. Baptised children whose parent(s)/guardian(s) are in regular attendance at any of<br />

the Anglican Churches within the Parish of St. Thomas with All Saints in Leigh<br />

5. Baptised or dedicated children whose parent(s)/guardian(s) are in regular<br />

attendance at a church within the parish which is a member of Churches<br />

Together in Britain and Ireland, or a local Churches Together organisation.<br />

6. Children whose families are in regular attendance of another Church Of England<br />

church in the Leigh Deanery, and who live within the parish boundaries of<br />

Bedford St. Thomas.<br />

7. All other children.<br />

Tiebreaker<br />

If more children fall in<strong>to</strong> any one category than the number of places left, the<br />

Governors will offer places <strong>to</strong> the children who live nearest <strong>to</strong> the school. Distance<br />

will be measured in a straight line from the child’s home address <strong>to</strong> the main gate of<br />

the school (Astley Street), using <strong>Wigan</strong> <strong>Council</strong>’s measuring system.
