The Edward Betham Church of
England Primary School
Notes
Note 1. A parent/guardian is any person who has parental
responsibility for or is the legal guardian of the child. Where our
policy refers to parents/guardians attending church, it is sufficient
for just one parent/guardian to attend. Family members include
only parents/guardians, as defined above, and siblings.
Note 2. The Governors regard attendance at worship on a regular
weekly basis as a sign of Church of England practice. A similar
degree of commitment to other churches or faiths is expected.
Less frequent attendance may be considered where supporting
evidence is provided by a Minister or Religious Leader.
Note 3. The address provided on the Supplementary Information
Form will be used for ranking purposes. Where a child spends
part of a week with one parent and part with another, the
address provided must be the address at which the child spends
the majority of the week.
Note 4. Information concerning whether an applicant’s address
falls within one of the named parishes can be obtained by using
the postcode search at www.achurchnearyou.com
Note 5. In all categories, if after applying the criteria, two or
more children have equal priority, the child who lives nearest the
school will be given priority. The distance from home to school
is measured by a straight-line, from a point in the property to
a point in the school determined by the grid references for the
centre of the school’s postcode, as calculated by the Ealing
Local Authority [The measuring system is an integral part of the
admission software produced by Tribal Technology Ltd. It uses
Ordnance Survey maps and is accurate to 1 metre.]
