ARRANGEMENTS FOR ADMISSIONS (from Para. 7 Admissions Policy 2012)
All parents applying for a place at Bishop Luffa School, whether Foundation or Community, should complete their Local Authority Application Form, which requires parents to state three schools in order of preference. This should be returned to the Pupil Admissions Office.
Foundation Places
In addition, parents applying for Foundation Places should complete the Bishop Luffa School Foundation Supplementary Information Form, which includes details of the church attended.
Those applying for Foundation Places should make an appointment to see their priest or minister and ask them to complete a Church Support Form. These are sent to clergy by the School; clergy who do not receive these forms may obtain them direct from the School. They should be returned by clergy to the Governors. The Governors will consider only those applications for Foundation places in Categories, A, B, D and E that are supported by a Church Support Form.
Category C Places
Those who apply for Category C must provide appropriate documentation or a letter from a qualified person (normally a doctor or a social worker) stating clearly the exceptional reasons why the child should attend Bishop Luffa School.
Community Places
Parents applying for Community Places should complete the Local Authority Application Form which should be returned to the Pupil Admissions Office. A Supplementary Information Form does not need to be completed for Community places.
