  2. Children with older brothers and sisters who will still be attending the school when the younger child starts.
  3. Parents who live within the United Benefice of St. Thomas Lydiate & St Cuthbert’s Halsall.
  4. Children with a documented social, medical or pastoral need who would benefit from a place in the school. Professional supporting evidence from a doctor, social worker, member of the clergy or psychologist will be necessary if admission under this criterion is to be considered.

Where there are more applicants for the available places within criterion, then the distance between the Ordnance Survey address points for the school and the home measured in a straight line will be used as the final determining factor, nearer addresses having priority over more distant ones. In the event of a tied distance measurement between address points the Local Authority’s system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s).
