Notes
‘Looked after child’ has the same meaning as in Section 22
of the Children Act 1989, and means any child in the care of a
local authority or provided with accommodation by them (e.g.
children with foster parents).
‘Adopted’. An adopted child applies to all children with proof
of adoption.
‘Child arrangements order’. A child arrangements order is
an order under the terms of the Children Act 1989 s.8 which
defines it as an order settling the arrangements to be made as
to the person with whom the child is to live.
‘Special guardianship order’. A special guardianship order is
an order under the terms of the Children Act 1989 s.14A which
defines it as an order appointing one or more individuals to be a
child’s special guardian(s).
and Holy Spirit. An ecclesial community which on principle has no
credal statements in its tradition, is included if it manifests faith
in Christ as witnessed to in the Scriptures and is committed to
working in the spirit of the above.
All members of Churches Together in England and of CYTÛN are
deemed to be included in the above definition, as are all other
churches and ecclesial communities that are in membership of
any local Churches Together Group (by whatever title) on the
above basis.
‘Children of other faiths’ means children who are members
of a religious community that does not fall within the definition
of ‘other Christian denominations’ and which falls within the
definition of a religion for the purposes of charity law. The
Charities Act 2011 defines religion to include:
• A religion which involves belief in more than one God, and
• A religion which does not involve belief in a God.
‘Parent’ is the person or persons who have legal responsibility
for the child. Case law has identified certain characteristics which describe the
meaning of religion for the purposes of charity law, which are
characterised by a belief in a supreme being and an expression
of belief in that supreme being through worship.
‘Catholic’ means a member of a Church in full communion
with the See of Rome. This includes the Eastern Catholic
Churches. This will normally be evidenced by a certificate of
baptism in a Catholic Church or a certificate of reception into
the full communion of the Catholic Church. ‘Distance’ 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.
‘Certificate of Catholic Practice (CCP)’ means a certificate
given by the family’s parish priest (or the priest in charge of the
church where the family normally worships) in the form laid
down by the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales.
‘Sibling’ refers to brothers and sisters, step brothers and sisters,
half brothers and sisters or adopted brothers and sisters.
‘Home address’ is defined as the address at which the child
resides for at least 50% of the school week.
‘Catechumen’ means a member of the catechumenate of a
Catholic Church. This will normally be evidenced by a certificate
of reception into the order of catechumens.
‘Eastern Christian Church’ includes Orthodox Churches, and is
normally evidenced by a certificate of baptism or reception from
the authorities of that Church.
‘Children of other Christian denominations’ means children
who belong to other churches and ecclesial communities which,
acknowledging God’s revelation in Christ, confess the Lord Jesus
Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures, and, in
obedience to God’s will and in the power of the Holy Spirit commit
themselves: to seek a deepening of their communion with Christ
and with one another in the Church, which is his body; and to
fulfil their mission to proclaim the Gospel by common witness
and service in the world to the glory of the one God, Father, Son
For the purpose of this this policy parish boundaries are shown
on a map available from the school.
