Definately

Children with a parent/guardian who worships in a Church which is in membership with Churches
Together in Britain and Ireland. Those children who have a sibling attending the school on the date
of application and on the date of admission will be admitted ahead of those without a sibling.
Churches Together in Britain and Ireland is taken on the 1st September in the year prior to
admission to the school.
Parental worship means a minimum of attendance at church at public worship of four times a
month over two years prior to 1st September in the year before admission to the school.
If places are left after the application of this measure, then children with parents who meet the
same criterion at the level of attendance of three times a month over at least two years prior to 1st
September will be considered, and again, those with siblings as defined below, will be admitted
ahead of those without.
If places are still left after the application of this second measure, then those children with parents
who meet the same criterion at the level of attendance of twice a month over at least two years
prior to 1st September will be considered, and again, those with siblings as defined below, will be
admitted ahead of those without.

The governors will require confirmation of this from the relevant member of the clergy.
