Certificate of Catholic Practice
The Certificate of Catholic Practice can be obtained from the priest at the parish where your family normally worships and from the diocesan website.
30 Hours Free Childcare Offer
Currently all 3 & 4 year olds are entitled to up to 15 hours of free childcare and early education a week for up to 38 weeks a year. From September 2017 the Government increased the entitlement from 15 to 30 hours per week for working parents who meet the eligibility criteria. All children remain eligible for the existing universal 15 hour free entitlement offer. The Department for Education has produced an information sheet which can be accessed by following the link below.

You will be able to find out more information at www.childcarechoices.gov.uk If you are eligible you will receive a code which you must give to the school to be validated. Please be aware that this code needs to be re-validated every three months. We are here to support you with the process. Further below you will find a form that must be completed and handed into the school with your code if you are eligible for additional funding.
We regularly host visits to the school for prospective parents. Please contact the school office to find out the date for the next school tour with Miss Coleman. In the meantime, enjoy watching these short videos, the first introducing our school and the second focussing on our Foundation Stage.
Please find below our admissions arrangements for 2023 and 2024 entry.
If your child is Reception age or above and you are unsuccessful in your application for place you have a formal right to appeal to an independent appeal panel.
