When St Katherine's School & Nursery has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1.

A previously looked after child means such children who were adopted (or subject to child arrangements orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after and 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. Sibling attending the school — Where the child has a sibling attending the school at the time of entry. Sibling defined as brother or sister living as such in the same house. The sibling link is maintained as long as the family lives at the same address as when the first child applied, or has moved closer to the school than when the first child was offered a place, or has moved to an address that is less than 2 miles from the school; 3. Medical/health or social grounds — Where there are medical/health or social grounds for admitting the child. Priority will be given to those children whose mental or physical impairment means they have a demonstrable and significant need to attend only St Katherine's School and Nursery. Equally this priority will apply to children whose parents'/guardians' physical or mental health or social needs means that they have a demonstrable and significant need to attend only the school. Such claims will need to be supported by written evidence from a suitably qualified medical or other practitioner, and 2 further criteria. The school offers 60 places at this entry point. Tie-break: In the unlikely event of a tie breaker situation the nearness of an applicant's home to school will be the decider. If more than one applicant has the same distance from home to school, then a random selection will be applied, independently supervised.
