Admission to Primary School 2011-2012 Booklet - Wigan Council

Admissions to primary school in 2011 to 2012
Notes
1. If the application is for a child who has special medical or social
circumstances then the application for admission MUST be accompanied
by a supporting letter from a doctor, social worker, member of the clergy or
other professional with knowledge of the family and the needs of the child.
The letter should explain why admission to the school is necessary for the
child’s well-being.
2. Where there are more children in one particular criterion than the number
of places available, places will be allocated to the children who live nearest
to the school. The distance will be measured in a straight line from the
child’s home address to the main entrance of school where the school
office is located using the Local Authority GIS system which is based on
Ordnance Survey.
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.
