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

brother or sister is any child living at the same address.<br />

the year up <strong>to</strong> the time of application.<br />
5. Children of parents who regularly attend another Christian church which is a member of<br />

Tie breaker<br />
If more children fall in<strong>to</strong> any one category than the number of places left, the Governors will offer<br />
places <strong>to</strong> the children who live nearest <strong>to</strong> the school. Distance will be measured in a straight line<br />
from the child’s home address <strong>to</strong> the main entrance of the school, using <strong>Wigan</strong> <strong>Council</strong>’s<br />
measuring system.<br />
In cases where there are two or more children with the same distance measurement (for<br />
example if more than one child lives in a block of flats), where <strong>to</strong> admit another child would<br />
breach the infant class size regulations, a system will be used <strong>to</strong> randomly pick who will be<br />
offered a place. Please contact the school if you would like more information about this.<br />
If we offer the last place available <strong>to</strong> one of twins (or triplets and so on) we will offer the place<br />
that is available and you can decide which child will take up the place.<br />
Church attendance will be verified by the local minister.
