Admissions criteria Tie break
Where the offer of places to all the applicants in any of the
categories listed above would still lead to over-subscription the
places will be offered up to the admission number to those living
nearest to the front door of the Parish Church of St Peter &
Paul. The distance from home to church is measured by straight-
line, from a point in the property to the front door of SS Peter
& Paul’s church. In the event of a tie break of families living
equidistant from the church, the tie break will be resolved by
random allocation.
The below criteria has been summarised, for the full admissions
policy and arrangements please visit the school website:

category of looked after children, to an application where

Multiple applications
Where the final place is offered to a child who has siblings applying
for a place in the same school year siblings will also be admitted.
Supplementary information form (SIF)
You should complete the School’s Supplementary Information
Form (SIF). The information on the SIF enables the Governing
Body to assess your application fully against the School’s criteria
in the event of oversubscription. If you do not complete this
form your application will be given the lowest priority. Please
return the SIF (in person or by post) to Mount Carmel Primary
School, together with all other relevant paperwork required for
your application by the closing date.
Certificate of Catholic practice (CCP)
Applicants applying under Criteria 2, 3 or 4 must submit a
Certificate of Catholic Practice by the closing date. ‘Certificate
of Catholic Practice’ means a certificate issued by the family’s
parish priest (or the priest in charge of the church where the
family attends Mass) in the form laid down by the Bishops’
Conference of England and Wales. It will be issued if the
priest is satisfied that at least one Catholic parent or carer
(along with the child, if he or she is over seven years old) have
(except when it was impossible to do so) attended Mass on
Sundays and holy days of obligation for at least five years (or,
in the case of the child, since the age of seven, if shorter). It
will also be issued when the practice has been continuous
since being received into the Church if that occurred less
than five years ago. It is expected that most Certificates will
be issued on the basis of attendance. A Certificate may also
be issued by the priest when attendance is interrupted by
exceptional circumstances which excuse from the obligation to
attend on that occasion or occasions. Further details of these
circumstances can be found in the guidance issued to priests
