Other classes will be filled as vacancies arise. Admission forms for Year 1 to 6 are required and admissions criteria will be applied to any children on the waiting list.
Admissions criteria

1. Looked after children. There must be evidence of this from the local authority
2. Children who have a particular medical or social need to attend St Paul
3. Children who have a brother or sister in the school at the time of admission.
4. After the first 3 criteria have been decided 50% of the remaining places will be given to children whose parents/guardians
4.1 habitually worship at St Paul
4.2 habitually worship at another Christian church and who live within the parish of St Paul
and priority will be given to those applicants falling within criteria 4.1.
5. The remaining 50% will be given to children who live nearest the school and will be admitted in order of proximity of their house to the front door of the school using “Route View” a Geographical Information System.
* eg children with a particular medical or social need that is supported by written evidence from a professional such as a doctor, social worker or other qualified person. This evidence will need to be submitted with the application form stating clearly the particular reason why St Paul
** 'habitual worship' refers to attendance at a Sunday service by one or both parents/guardians at least twice a month for at least a year. This must be confirmed by completion of a pro forma reference signed by a member of the clergy.
In the normal course applicants under each of the first four criteria will be prioritised according to proximity of their dwelling place to the front door of the school using “Route View” a Geographical Information System.
Unsuccessful applicants
Unsuccessful applicants will:
· Be placed on the “Unsuccessful Applicants list”
· Have the above admission criteria applied
· Will remain on the “Unsuccessful Applicants list” until the beginning of the Autumn term.
From September a general waiting list will be compiled. This will include
· Applicants remaining on the “Unsuccessful Applicants List”
· Any applications received after the closing date
Please note that this list will have the same criteria applied. Parents should note that this may mean that a child’s position on the waiting list could move up or down,
IN YEAR ADMISSIONS
Applications for In-Year admissions are made in the same way as those made during the normal admissions round. If a place is available and there is no waiting list then the local authority will communicate the governors’ offer of a place to the family. If more applications are received than there are places available then applications will be ranked by the governing body in accordance with the admission criteria. If a place cannot be offered at this time then you may ask us for the reasons and you will be informed of your right of appeal. You will be offered the opportunity of being placed on a waiting list. This waiting list will be maintained by the governing body in the order of the admission criteria and not in the order in which the applications are received. When a place becomes available the governing body will decide who is at the top of the list so that the LA can inform the parent that the school is making an offer.
Waiting List
Children can be placed on the waiting list at the parent/carers request in accordance with the above criteria.
Children will remain on a waiting list until a vacancy arises. Annually the school will write to the family of every pupil on the waiting list and request confirmation that the place is still needed. If a reply is not received by the dead line on the letter then the school will assume that the place is no longer required and will remove the child’s name from the waiting list. The admissions committee will only consider applicants who confirm their interest.
Late applications
Applications received after the 15th January 2010 will be regarded as late. Late applications will be processed after the borough offer date of 29th March 2010.
Appeals
Parents whose applications for admission are not successful are encouraged to contact the School for advice. Appeals against the decision may be sent to the Clerk to the Appeals Committee c/o St Paul
