Summary of policy
This is an academy – please contact the academy for full admission details. To apply for a place at this school, please apply online and use the supplementary information form available from the school.
- Children in public care and previously looked after children including IAPLAC
- Children with special medical or social circumstances affecting the child where these needs can only be met at this school.
- a) As the school is a Church of England School, preference will be given to children whose parents are regular church members and are regularly involved with the life and work of Upholland and Dalton Team Ministry. b) Children of parents who are regular worshippers at another Church of England. **
- Brothers and sisters already attending Bishop Martin C of E Primary School and who will still be in school at the time of admission. This includes full, half and step brothers and sisters and foster brothers and sisters who are living at the same address as part of the same family unit. Where a child lives with parents with shared responsibility the address given on the application form should be the address where the child sleeps on most nights of the week.
- Children who have attended Bishop Martin C of E Primary School Nursery.
- Distance from home to school.
* Note: Criteria 3 & 5 - Parental involvement is normally taken to mean a minimum of monthly attendance at church and active involvement in church activities.
Tie break: Where there are more applicants for the available places within a category, then the distance between the Ordnance Survey address points for the school and the home measured in a straight line will be used as the final determining factor, nearer addresses having priority over more distant ones. This address point is within the body of the property and usually located at its centre. Where two addresses have the same distance, or the cut-off point is for addresses within the same building, then the Local Authority's system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s).
