How places are decided at St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary and Nursery School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked after children — Looked after children and previously looked after children.
2Baptised Catholic children in parish — Baptised Catholic children resident in the parish of St Oswald (the part of the parish formerly referred to as St Cuthbert).(see notes 3&10)
3Other Catholic children — Other Catholic children. (see note 3)
4Eastern Christian Church members — Members of an Eastern Christian Church not in full communion with Rome (see note 4)
5Other Christian Ecclesial Communities — Children of other Christian Ecclesial Communities whose membership is evidenced by a minister of religion. (see note 5)
6Children of other faiths — Children of other faiths whose membership is evidenced by a religious leader. (see note 6)
7Any other children — Any other children.

If two applications tie: Priority will be given to children living closest to the school determined by the shortest distance. Distance will be measured by straight line distance from the child's permanent home address (including flats and apartments) to the school using the local authority's computerised measuring system with those living closest to the school being given preference in the event a school receives more applicants than it has places available in a particular year group. In the event of distances being the same for two or more children where this would determine the last place to be allocated, random allocation will be carried out and supervised by a person independent of the school.

Prior to applying the numbered oversubscription criteria, two overriding provisions apply within each category: (i) exceptional social, medical or pastoral need places an application at the top of its category; (ii) attendance of a brother or sister at the school increases priority to the top of the category (after (i)). The admission authority will also, where logistically possible, admit twins and siblings from multiple births where one of the children is the last child ranked within the PAN.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
