If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below. 

The Governing Body of St Marie's Catholic Primary School agreed our proposed admissions criteria for the 2024/2025 academic year at the Local Governing Body Meeting on Monday 21st November 2022

(See below).

In-Year Applications

An application can be made for a place for a child at any time outside the admission round and the child will be admitted where there are available places. 

An application should be made via the local authority by completing the in-year admissions application form which is available from:

https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/moving-schools-within-school-year

As a Catholic School, parents will also need to complete a Supplementary Information Form in addition to the standard application form that is submitted to the local authority.  Supplementary Information Forms can be obtained from the school’s website at: https://www.st-maries.com/admissions/      (See below)

A hard copy can be provided on request by contacting the school office: office@sma.magnificat.org.uk   

Supplementary Information Forms must be returned directly to the school at:

office@sma.magnificat.org.uk  

If a Supplementary Information Form is not submitted directly to the school this may affect the priority given to the application and could affect the likelihood of your child being offered a place.

The local authority will forward your application to the school for consideration by the governors.

Where there are places available but more applications than places, the published oversubscription criteria, as set out in the admission arrangements for 2021/2022 will be applied. The full admission arrangements can be accessed from:

https://www.st-maries.com/admissions/

or by contacting the school office to request a hard copy.  Parents are advised to read the admission arrangements carefully before making their application.

If there are no places available, the local authority will notify you of this decision on behalf of the governors and the child will be added to the waiting list.  Please see the admission arrangements for more details regarding waiting lists.

You will be advised of the outcome of your application in writing as soon as possible.  Applicants must be informed of the outcome of their application within 15 school days of its receipt, but the aim is to notify applicants of the outcome of their application within 10 school days of its receipt.

You have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel if your application is unsuccessful.

If you have any questions in relation to in-year admissions please contact the school at:
