Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School
Notes
‘ Looked after and previously looked after child ’ A looked after child is a child who is ( a ) in the care of a local authority , or ( b ) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions ( see the definition in Section 22 ( 1 ) of the Children Act 1989 ). Previously looked after children are children who were looked after , but ceased to be so because they were adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order immediately following having been looked after . Adopted children are those who were adopted under the Adoption Act 1976 ( see section 12 adoption orders ) and children who were adopted under the Adoption and Children ’ s Act 2002 ( see section 46 adoption orders ). Child arrangements orders are defined in s . 8 of the Children Act 1989 , as amended by s . 12 of the Children and Families Act 2014 . Child arrangements orders replace residence orders and any residence order in force prior to 22 April 2014 is deemed to be a child arrangements order . A special guardianship order is defined by s . 14A of the Children Act 1989 as an order appointing one or more individuals to be a child ’ s special guardian ( or special guardians ). A child is regarded as having been in state care in a place outside of England if they were accommodated by a public authority , a religious organisation or any other provider of care whose sole purpose is to benefit society .
‘ Parent ’ is the person or persons who have legal responsibility for the child .
‘ Catholic ’ means a member of a Church in full communion with the See of Rome . This includes the Eastern Catholic Churches . This will normally be evidenced by a certificate of baptism in a Catholic Church or a certificate of reception into the full communion of the Catholic Church .
‘ Certificate of Catholic Practice ( CCP )’ means a certificate given by the family ’ s parish priest ( or the priest in charge of the church where the family normally worships ) in the form laid down by the Bishops ’ Conference of England and Wales .
‘ Sibling ’ refers to brothers and sisters , step brothers and sisters , half brothers and sisters or adopted brothers and sisters .
‘ Home address ’ is defined as the address at which the child resides for at least 50 % of the school week .
‘ Catechumen ’ means a member of the catechumenate of a Catholic Church . This will normally be evidenced by a certificate of reception into the order of catechumens .
‘ Eastern Christian Church ’ includes Orthodox Churches , and is normally evidenced by a certificate of baptism or reception from the authorities of that Church .
‘ Children of other Christian denominations ’ means children who belong to other churches and ecclesial communities which , acknowledging God ’ s revelation in Christ , confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures , and , in obedience to God ’ s will and in the power of the Holy Spirit commit themselves : to seek a deepening of their communion with Christ and with one another in the Church , which is his body ; and to fulfil their mission to proclaim the Gospel by common witness and service in the world to the glory of the one God , Father , Son and Holy Spirit . An ecclesial community which on principle has no credal statements in its tradition , is included if it manifests faith in Christ as witnessed to in the Scriptures and is committed to working in the spirit of the above . All members of Churches Together in England and of CYTÛN are deemed to be included in the above definition , as are all other churches and ecclesial communities that are in membership of any local Churches Together Group ( by whatever title ) on the above basis .
‘ Children of other faiths ’ means children who are members of a religious community that does not fall within the definition of ‘ other Christian denominations ’ and which falls within the definition of a religion for the purposes of charity law . The Charities Act 2011 defines religion to include :
• A religion which involves belief in more than one God , and
• A religion which does not involve belief in a God .
Case law has identified certain characteristics which describe the meaning of religion for the purposes of charity law , which are characterised by a belief in a supreme being and an expression of belief in that supreme being through worship .
‘ Distance ’ The distance from home to church is measured by straight-line , from a point in the property to the front door of SS Peter & Paul ’ s church .
For the purpose of this this policy parish boundaries are shown on a map available from the school .
