Summary of policy

This is a voluntary aided school – please contact the school 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.

  1. Looked after Children and previously looked after children, This includes children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and have ceased to be in state care due to be adopted.
  2. Children who will have a sibling attending school at the time of admission.
  3. All other applicants those living nearest to Dalton St Michael’s by a straight line measure will have priority.

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 the cut off point is for addresses within the same building, then the single measure between address points will apply and the Local Authority's system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s).
