Admissions Policy & Certificate of Catholic Practice

The Diocesan Education Service has updated its model Admission Policies to bring it in line with the National Catholic Education Service and to ensure compliance with the mandatory School Admission Code which all Admission Authorities are legally required to follow.

Our schools will still prioritise Catholic applicants and a certificate of Baptism will still be used to identify this. However, in cases where a school is oversubscribed with Catholic applicants, it will be necessary to rank further the Catholic applicants, and the Certificate of Catholic Practice will be used to do this.
