Admissions criteria
The criteria listed below have been summarised ; the full admissions policy and regulations can be found on the school ’ s website : www . stmarysschoolng . org
Where the number of applications is greater than the planned admission number , applications will be considered against the criteria set out below .
After the allocation of children with an EHC plan , the admission criteria will be applied in the following order of priority :
1 . Looked after children - Children in public care or children previously in public care , who ceased to be so because they were adopted , or became subject to a child arrangement or special guardianship order . Including Catholic children who appear ( to the admission authority ) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted
2 . Children with a sibling in school at the date of admission .
After these criteria are applied , the remaining places are divided in half and assigned as follows :
3 . Up to 50 % of the remaining places are designated as Foundation Places and allocated to practising Christian families
4 . 50 % are designated as Open places and are allocated by distance from home to the school
Within each criterion , where there is oversubscription , applicants are prioritised by distance . This is measured in a straight line from the applicant ’ s permanent residence to the main gate of St Mary ’ s Church of England Primary School , 26 Tentelow Lane , UB2 4LE .
Foundation ( Christian ) places To apply for a foundation ( Christian ) place , children should belong to a family who currently worship regularly ( at least twice a month for a minimum period of 2 years ) in an Anglican Church , a church forming part of “ Churches Together in Britain and Ireland ” or a member of the Evangelical Alliance . The only exception to this would be a family recently moved into the area and who are able to provide a letter from the minister of their previous church to confirm attendance .
Supplementary information form ( SIF ) A SIF should be completed to support this application . A section of this will have to be completed by the minister or vicar at the place of worship . When completed , this should be sent to St Mary ’ s Church of England Primary School , 26 Tentelow Lane , Norwood Green , UB2 4LE , by the closing date .
