To apply for a foundation (Christian) place, children should
belong to a family who currently worship regularly (at least
twice a month for a minimum period of 2 years) in an Anglican
Church, a church forming part of “Churches Together in Britain
and Ireland” or a member of the Evangelical Alliance. The only

previous church to confirm attendance.
The below criteria has been summarised, for the full admissions
policy and arrangements please visit the school website:

Where the number of applications is greater than the planned
admission number, applications will be considered against the
criteria set out below.
After the allocation of children with an EHC plan, the admission
criteria will be applied in the following order of priority:
1. Looked after children - Children in public care or children
previously in public care, who ceased to be so because they
were adopted, or became subject to a child arrangement or
special guardianship order Supplementary information form (SIF)
A SIF should be completed to support this application. A section
of this will have to be completed by the minister or vicar at the
place of worship. When completed, this should be sent to St
Mary’s Church of England Primary School, 26 Tentelow Lane,
Norwood Green, UB2 4LE, by the closing date.
2. Children with a sibling in school at the date of admission. How places were offered in 2017
After these criteria are applied, the remaining places are divided
in half and assigned as follows-
3. Up to 50% of the remaining places are designated as
Foundation Places and allocated to practising Christian families
4. 50% are designated as Open places and are allocated by
distance from home to the school
Within each criterion, where there is oversubscription, applicants
are prioritised by distance. This is measured in a straight line from
the applicant’s permanent residence to the main gate of St Mary’s
Church of England Primary School, 26 Tentelow Lane, UB2 4LE.
Applicants from the same block of flats, or applicants who live
the same distance from the school will be selected in random
order and places will be offered accordingly.
