1st September 2013—31st August 2014 you now need to register them for a place in
a Reception class at Primary School. We would love to welcome your child to our
friendly, successful Catholic Primary School which serves both Cleckheaton &
Heckmondwike church communities. The closing date for registration is 15th January
2018. You need to apply on-line at www.kirklees.gov.uk/admissions & you MUST also
complete a Governor’s Supplementary Form (available from school or to download
from our website) this is the only form that asks for details of faith & therefore
enables us to abide by our Admissions’ Criteria. Certificates of Baptism will be needed.

From the Bishop of Leeds an Appeal to Act in Support of Catholic Education !
Do you support Catholic schools and the right of Catholics to send their children to them ?
Then we need you to make your voice heard. The Government is making a critical decision
on whether to overturn the admissions cap which prevents new Catholic schools from
allowing all Catholic pupils to attend. The Prime Minister has acknowledged that this
policy discriminates against Catholic and had promised previously to abandon it. Now the
Government may decide to keep this discriminatory policy in place instead of removing it.
We need you to tell the Government not to discriminate against Catholics and to remove
the admissions cap on new faith-based schools.
Visit http://catholicnews.org.uk/education-cap or search for ‘Catholic Education’ in your
search engine to write to the Government and urge them to drop their policy which bans
new Catholic schools.
THE CATHOLIC SCHOOLS APPEAL SERVICE are recruiting panel members to hear
appeals by parents for Diocesan school places. This is a voluntary role but travel
expenses can be claimed - full training will be provided. Appeal panels consist of both
lay members of the community and those from an educational background. For further
information, please contact Emma on 0113 261 8040 or email

Services etc.) and also a good selection of devotional books for Advent and
Christmas. We also have a nice selection of religiously themed Christmas cards,
