a place of worship will only be considered if the minister of
religion has confirmed regular worship on the form).
1 Looked after children.
2 Children whose parents/carers are regular (at least once every three weeks) worshippers at St. John of Jerusalem Church.
3 Children with documented acute medical/social needs (other than statement of SEN needs), for whom
in their view this is the most appropriate school to suit their needs. This must be supported by a letter
