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.
In the event that there are more applicants than places, after admitting all children with a Statement of Educational Need or Education Health and Care Plan naming the school, the Governing Body will allocate places using the criteria below, which are listed in order of priority.
- (a) Children in public care and previously looked after children.
This means a ‘looked after child’ or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements or special guardianship order, including those 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.
(b) Children with special medical or social circumstances affecting the child where these needs can only be met at this school.
Professional supporting evidence from a professional, e.g. a doctor, psychologist, social worker, is essential if admission is to be made under the criterion for special medical or social circumstances, and such evidence must set out the particular reasons why the school in question is the only school where these needs can be met and the difficulties which would be caused if the child had to attend another school. Parents must submit this evidence to the school by 15th January 2025, if they wish their application to be considered under this criterion.
2. Residence in the parish of Slaidburn. Residence may be defined as the family home at which the child resides regularly on week days. Where the parents live at different addresses, and there is shared parenting, the address used will normally be the one where the child wakes up for the majority of Monday to Friday mornings. If there is any doubt about this, then the address of the Child Benefit recipient will be used. Parents may be asked to show evidence of the claim that is being made for the address used. A map of the parish is available in school.
- Siblings. Children who have a sibling attending the school on the date of application and on the date of admission. Siblings include step, half, foster, adopted brothers and sisters living at the same address.
- Children with a parent/guardian worshipping in a church in full membership of Churches Together in England or the Evangelical Alliance or the North West Gospel Partnership which is situated in the Parish of Slaidburn.
- Children already enrolled at Brennand’s Endowed Pre-School.
- Residence in a neighbouring parish. Neighbouring parishes are defined as parishes from which we have traditionally drawn pupils i.e. Clitheroe, Hurst Green, Mitton, Whitewell, Slaidburn, Grindleton, Chatburn and Downham.
- Other Children
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).
