St Clere’s School is a DfES designated Language College. The school’s number intended to admit for September 2006 is 201.
In the event of there being more applications for places at St Clere’s School than there are places available, places will be allocated in the following order of priority:

A. Pupils resident in the priority admissions area (catchment area) of St Clere’s School in the following order of priority:

1. pupils who have brothers or sisters attending the school at the date of admission
2. pupils resident in the priority admissions area

B. Residence outside the priority admissions area of St Clere’s School in the following order of priority:

1. pupils who have brothers or sisters attending the school at the date of admission
2. pupils living closest to the school. Straight-line measurements from the home address to the school building will be used.

• Distance from home to school will be used as a ‘tie-breaker’ in the event of two pupils having equal right to an available place. As mentioned above, straight-line measurements from the home address to the school building will be used.

• The Governing Body will give children in public care priority above all other criteria.
