Admissions to primary school in 2011 to 2012 St Thomas CE Primary School Leigh DFE No: 3030 Astley Street Tel No: 01942 672730 Leigh Age Range: 4-11 WN7 2AS Website: www.leighsaintthomas.wigan.sch.uk Headteacher: Mr B Foster Number of pupils on roll May 2010: 421 Admission Number: 60 Admission criteria Admissions to an Aided school are the responsibility of the Governors, in agreement with the Diocesan Board of Education and the Local Authority. In September 2011 the Standard number for the new intake into school for all year groups is 60. The Admissions Panel at St. Thomas C.E. Primary School have responsibility for admissions. When applications are received, the decision on which children will be admitted will be based on the following: If the school receives more applications than places available, once places have been allocated to those children who have a statement of special educational need naming this school, the remaining places will be offered in the following order of priority: 1. Children in public care (Looked after children). 2. Children whose medical or social circumstances mean that their needs can only be met at this school. 3. Children who will have an older brother or sister attending the St. Thomas C.E. Primary School at the time of their admission. 4. Baptised children whose parent(s)/guardian(s) are in regular attendance at any of the Anglican Churches within the Parish of St. Thomas with All Saints in Leigh 5. Baptised or dedicated children whose parent(s)/guardian(s) are in regular attendance at a church within the parish which is a member of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, or a local Churches Together organisation. 6. Children whose families are in regular attendance of another Church Of England church in the Leigh Deanery, and who live within the parish boundaries of Bedford St. Thomas. 7. All other children. Tiebreaker If more children fall into any one category than the number of places left, the Governors will offer places to the children who live nearest to the school. Distance will be measured in a straight line from the child’s home address to the main gate of the school (Astley Street), using Wigan Council’s measuring system.
Admissions to primary school in 2011 to 2012 In cases where there are two or more children with the same distance measurement (for example if more than one child lives in a block of flats), where to admit another child would breach the infant class size regulations, a system will be used to randomly pick who will be offered a place. Please contact the school if you would like more information about this. If we offer the last place available to one of twins (or triplets and so on) we will offer the place that is available and you can decide which child will take up the place. Notes a. Where admission is sought under special medical or social circumstances criteria, professional supporting evidence, e.g. from a doctor, psychologist or social worker, is essential. Such evidence must set out the particular reasons why the school is the most suitable for the child and the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend another school. b. Brother’ or ‘sister’ includes step, half, adopted and foster brothers or sisters living at the same address as part of the same family unit and full brother or sister living apart. c. Regular attendance is normally taken to mean a minimum of monthly attendance at church at public worship for at least the year prior to 1 st September in the year before admission to the school. Evidence of infant baptism or dedication of the child and of regular attendance of parent(s)/guardian(s) must be provided by a member of the clergy or other designated church officer on the form provided.
