<strong>Admission</strong>s <strong>to</strong> primary school in <strong>2011</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />
9. Children whose parents express a preference for a place at the school.<br />
*’Baptised Catholic’ means, within the policies and practices relating <strong>to</strong> school<br />
admissions, any child who, before the due date of application, is a baptised<br />
Catholic or who, having been baptised in<strong>to</strong> another Christian denomination<br />
whose baptisms are recognised by the Catholic Church, has subsequently<br />
been formally received in<strong>to</strong> the Catholic Church.<br />
In the event of any over-subscription in the number of applications made<br />
under any of the categories above then the admissions committee will offer<br />
places first <strong>to</strong> children living nearest <strong>to</strong> the school measured in a straight line<br />
from the child’s home address <strong>to</strong> the main entrance of the school using the<br />
Local Authority’s measuring service based on Ordnance Survey.<br />
In rare cases where the distance tie-break does not assist, for example where<br />
there are two or more children with an exact distance measurement, where <strong>to</strong><br />
admit another pupil would have class size implications, random selection will<br />
be used <strong>to</strong> determine the allocation of places.<br />
If the last place <strong>to</strong> be offered is <strong>to</strong> one of twins or triplets, and <strong>to</strong> offer all<br />
children a place would mean the infant class size regulations would be<br />
breached, the governing body will offer the available place and parents can<br />
decide which child will take up the place. At the same time the home local<br />
authority will advise parents which school can take all the children.<br />
