St Eugene de Mazenod Catholic Primary School was founded by the Catholic Church to provide education for children of Catholic families. The school is conducted by its governing body as part of the Catholic Church in accordance with the Diocesan Trust Deed and instrument of government, and seeks at all times to be a witness to Jesus Christ. As a Catholic school, we aim to provide a Catholic education for all our pupils. At a Catholic school, Catholic doctrine and practice permeate every aspect of the school’s activity. It is essential that the Catholic character of the school’s education be fully supported by all families in the school. All applicants are therefore expected to give their full, unreserved and positive support for the aims and ethos of the school.
The Published Admission Number (PAN) for the school is 30.
The Governing Body is the Admission Authority and as such is fully responsible for all admissions to the school.
If there are more applications than our published admissions number of 30 places, the admission authority will offer places in accordance with the following criteria, listed in order of priority:
Where all else is equal, higher priority will be accorded to the child living nearest to the school, the distance being measured by a straight line from the front door of child’s house to the main entrance of school. Where there are applicants living in flats at the same address, the distance will include the distance from the front door of the flat within the building i.e. the flat nearest to the main door to the building will have priority. This distance is measured by the Local Authority.
Applications for In-Year admissions are made directly to the school. Where there is no waiting list the local authority will be notified and the child will be admitted. If more applications are received than there are places available then applications will be ranked by the governing body in accordance with the oversubscription criteria, with the following modifications: Catholic children without an offer of a school place elsewhere are given priority immediately after Catholic ‘looked after’ children; similarly, other children without an offer of a school place are given priority immediately after other ‘looked after’ children. 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 oversubscription criteria as modified above and not in the order in which the applications are received. Names are removed from the list at the end of each academic year. When a place becomes available the governing body will re-rank the list so that an offer can be made.
