- Parental commitment to the worship of The United Benefice of Ss. Cuthbert and Thomas, Halsall, Lydiate and Downholland.
- Parental involvement in the worship of another Christian Church, which is a member/affiliated to Churches Together in England. Any question of definition should be referred to the Diocese since there are periodic changes.
- Special medical, social or other particular circumstances affecting the child. Professional supporting evidence from, for example, a doctor, psychologist, social worker or clergyman will be essential if admission on this criterion is to be considered.
- Other children.
Where there are more applicants for the available places within a category, 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. This address point is within the body of the property and usually located at its centre. Where the cut off point is for addresses within the same building, then the single measure between address points will apply and the Local Authority's system of a random draw will determine which address(es) receive the offer(s).
Parents who wish their application to St Cuthbert's school to be considered against the priority faith criteria should also complete the supplementary information form available from the school or school website.
