Our Lady Of Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School
Admissions
- The introduction of new oversubscription criteria for:
- Children who are a member of an Eastern Christian Church
- Children of another Christian denomination
- Children of another faith
- Children of a member of School staff, within each category. - The introduction of a new Supplementary Information Form (to help process applications from those applying under the religious and/or staff categories).
- A new In-Year application form (reflecting the above new criteria, for those applying for admission ‘In-year’ i.e. during the school year and not at the start of the Reception Year)
- The use of a random number generator to help rank applicants, rather than drawing lots.
- A revised definition of home address to include any address where the child spends any part of the school week.
As a Voluntary Aided School, we process our own In-Year Admissions. Applications can be made using the form below. Please feel free to contact the school if you need any advice or help.
Applications for Reception children starting school in September should be made through Somerset County Council Admissions www.somerset.gov.uk/admissions or by calling 0300 123 2224.
