If you are applying for a place for your child to start in Reception 2011, it is very important that out of the three choices you have you name
BOTH St Mary's AND St Catherine's because both are parish schools. If you put down your reason for your first choice as baptised Roman Catholic, then you
MUST also put that reason for your second or third choice so that the Governing Body admissions panel has that information.
