Criteria

St. Michael’s CE Primary School is different from neighbouring Local Authority schools because it maintains strong links with the Diocese and as such has a distinctive Christian ethos. We provide for children of Christian parents seeking a Christian education and welcome parents of other faiths or of no particular faith.

Our admission criteria: 

1. Children looked after by a Local Authority (in accordance with section 22 of the Children Act 1989) and children who were previously looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted or became subject to a
residence order or special guardianship order. This includes those children 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.’
2. Children whose parent/guardian regularly attends the local Church of St Michael’s and All Angels. We define regular as meaning once a month for a one-year period prior to the point of application and this will be confirmed
by a letter from the local minister.
3. Children with a brother or sister who will be attending the school at the time of admission and who live at the same address (see Note 3)
4. Children whose parent/guardian regularly attends any “other Christian church”
5. Children who live nearest the academy (see Note 5)
