If two applications tie: In the event of further over-subscription within any one of the priorities (1 to 13) above, the following criteria will be used in the order listed. a) Sibling in the school at the time of admission; sibling includes step and adopted brothers and sisters. b) In the event of oversubscription in priorities 2 to 8, up to 20% of the number of places agreed for admission into Reception will be 'ring-fenced' for those applicants living within the boundary of the parish of St Catherine of Siena, Chessington and Hook (so that they are not disadvantaged by the fact that they live a greater distance from the school). c) Pastoral and medical needs which make the school particularly suitable for the child in question; strong relevant evidence must be provided by an appropriate professional authority such as a qualified medical practitioner, education welfare officer, social worker or priest, submitted by the closing date for applications. d) Distance from home to school - places awarded to children in order of those who live nearest to Our Lady Immaculate School, as measured by a straight line to the nearest school gate, using the School Admissions computerised geographical information system. Where the last remaining place is to be allocated and two or more children are deemed to live at the same distance from the school, the place will be decided by the drawing of lots.
