Admissions Cap in Catholic Schools - Have your say.......

Fri 24 Nov 2017

The Government will be shortly making a critical decision on whether to overturn the admissions cap which prevents Catholic schools from allowing all Catholic pupils to attend. The Secretary of State has acknowledged this policy has been ineffective and has adversely affected Catholic families. The next few weeks will be critical for convincing the government to honour the promise made to the Catholic community to remove the cap.

The CES have been actively working to lobby and influence behind the scenes, however, a very public final campaign is now needed to ensure our voices are heard. Each Bishop will be writing to each parish to encourage members of the congregation to write, email or call local MPs and the office of the Secretary of State.

Please do take this opportunity to make your voice heard and help protect the future of catholic education. A very easy way to do this is through the following CES link http://www.catholiceducation.org.uk/guidance-for-schools/item/1003640-safeguard-the-future-of-catholic-education

We received a letter from Nick Gibb, Minister of State for School Standards, to congratulate us for being in the top 8 per cent of all primary schools in the country for our outstanding Year 1 phonics results in 2017. We are so proud of this wonderful news! Well done to our lovely pupils who continually work so hard to achieve the highest standards and to our staff and parents for their dedication and commitment to our school.
