The attendance of a sibling at the school at the time of enrolment will increase the priority of an applicant within each category .
Exceptional need The Governing Body will give top priority after the appropriate category of looked-after children , to an application where compelling evidence is provided at the time of application , from an appropriate professional such as a doctor , priest or social worker of an exceptional social , medical or pastoral need of the child , which can only be met at this school .
Tie break Where the offer of places to all the applicants in any of the sub-categories listed above would still lead to over-subscription , the places up to the admission number will be offered to those applicants whose home address is nearest school , as measured by a straight line from the School Main Gate .
Multiple applications Where the final place is offered to a child who has other siblings applying for a place in the same school year , these siblings will also be admitted .
Supplementary information form ( SIF ) You should complete the School ’ s Supplementary Information Form ( SIF ). Whilst this is not compulsory , the information on the SIF enables the Governing Body to assess your application fully against the School ’ s criteria in the event of oversubscription . If you do not complete a SIF your child will be ranked under the lowest criterion . Please return the SIF ( in person or by post ) to the school , together with all other relevant paperwork required for your application by the closing date .
Certificate of Catholic practice ( CCP ) Applicants applying under criteria 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 must submit a Certificate of Catholic Practice ( CCP ) by the closing date . ‘ Certificate of Catholic Practice ’ means a certificate issued by the family ’ s parish priest ( or the priest in charge of the church where the family attends Mass ) in the form laid down by the Bishops ’ Conference of England and Wales .
