<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 over-subscription in the number of applications made under<br />

any of the categories above, then in each of the Categories the <strong>Admission</strong>s<br />

Committee will offer places first <strong>to</strong> children with siblings attending the school<br />

at the time of admission.<br />

If numbers of applications with siblings exceed places available and/or for any<br />

remaining places within a category the committee will apply the distance tiebreak<br />

– i.e. children living nearest the school measured in a straight line<br />

distance from the home address <strong>to</strong> the Front Door (main entrance) of the<br />

<strong>School</strong> as measured by the Local Authority.<br />

In 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 />
