In line with the
Local Authority
we follow an equal
preference system
with regard to
admission arrangements
for 2009/10. This
means that in
the event of over
subscription,
places are offered
in accordance
with the published
admissions criteria
regardless of
whether the school
is first, second
or third preference.
|
- First priority
will be given
to looked-after
children (as
defined by
Section 22
of the 1989
Children's
Act).
- Second priority
will be given
to children
who live in
the Parish
of Shepperton,
and who will
at the time
of entry have
one or more
siblings at
the school.
- Third priority
will be given
to children
of families
who are on
the electoral
roll of St
Nicholas Church
and who live
in the Parish
of Shepperton.
They must
have worshipped
there at least
monthly for
a period of
twelve months
(as certified
by the incumbent
) (or, in
the case of
families moving
into the parish,
can claim
the same pattern
of regular
worship at
their former
church as
vouched for
by that church).
- Fourth priority
will be given
to children
who live in
the Parish
of Shepperton.
- Fifth priority
will be given
to children
of families
who are members
of St Nicholas
Church but
who do not
live in the
Parish of
Shepperton.
They must
have worshipped
there at least
monthly for
a period of
twelve months
(as certified
by the incumbent).
- Sixth priority
will be given
to children
who will at
the time of
entry have
one or more
siblings at
the school
but do not
live in the
Parish of
Shepperton.
- All other
applicants.
For admission into
Year 3 only, pupils
of Littleton Church
of England Infant
School will have
a higher priority
than any of the
above categories
to a maximum of
32. If applications
from Littleton
pupils exceed
32 then those
places will be
offered as set
out above and
below, except
that references
to the Parish
of Shepperton
shall be read
as references
to the Parish
of Shepperton
or the Parish
of Littleton,
and references
to St Nicholas
Church shall read
as references
to St Nicholas
Church or St Mary
Magdalene Church.
In the case of
children who appear
to have equal
entitlement of
admission the
governors will
offer the place
to the child who
lives nearest
the school, measured
"as the crow flies"
from the main
entrance door
of the school.
The following exception
may apply: Governors
reserve the right
to give priority
to children with
documented severe
medical or social
needs made known
(to the governors)
at the time of
application, for
whom, in the view
of governors,
attendance at
the school is
particularly important.
Evidence should
include clear,
detailed documentation
from a health
care professional
as to why this
school, in particular,
can provide for
the child and
any difficulties
that would be
suffered if they
had to go to another
school.
Governors reserve
the right to withdraw
the offer of a
place if the information
contained in the
application is
found to be incorrect.
Further information
may be obtained
from the school
office.
