I want my child to go to a Roman Catholic primary school. What do I do next?
The Roman Catholic schools governing body will be responsible for deciding who gets places and then pass that information onto us. Roman Catholic schools will be sharing information with us to try and make sure you get one of the schools you prefer.
If there are two Roman Catholic schools that can offer you a place, we will
give you the school which you have put as a higher preference.
We will write to you on 13 April 2012 to let you know which school
your child has been given a place at. If you are unsuccessful, you do have
the right to appeal against the decision. If you want to appeal, you should
write to the Chair of Governors saying why you do not agree with the
decision and send your letter to the school.
You can get a booklet explaining your rights and the appeal procedure from
School Admissions by phoning (01642) 526605. Or view it online.
Please note: The governing body may want some more information from you (for example baptismal certificate for your child) before any decisions are made.
