Supplementary Form
For entry to Year 7 in September 2016
Hutton Church of England Grammar School is a popular, Voluntary Aided comprehensive school with specialist status in Mathematics
and Computing situated near Preston. The school admits boys only in Year 7, without reference to ability. There will be 148 places
available in this year group for admission in September 2016. Both boys and girls are admitted to the Sixth Form. The school has an
excellent reputation and is over-subscribed in most year groups.
Applications for admission to Hutton Church of England Grammar School for September 2016 should be made online using the Local
Authority’s common application form between Tuesday 1st September 2015 and Saturday 31st October 2015. Parents applying for
places under faith based criteria should also complete this supplementary form and return it directly to Hutton Church of England
Grammar School by Friday 30th October 2015. It is not normally possible to change your preference for a school after the closing date.
All information you give will be regarded as strictly confidential.
Where there are extenuating circumstances for an application being received after the last date for applications, and it is before the
Governors have established their list of students to be admitted, then it will be considered alongside all the others. Otherwise,
applications which are received after the last date will be considered after all others, and placed on the waiting list in order according
to the criteria.
Extracts from the Hutton Church of England Grammar School Policy for Admission to Year 7 in September 2016
If the number of applications exceeds 148, the Governors will admit by use of the following criteria, which are listed in priority order:
1. a) Boys in public care – This includes any "looked after child", “previously looked after children” and any child who was previously
looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, residence or special guardianship order. ‘Looked
after’ means that the child was (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the
exercise of their social services functions.
b) Boys with special medical or social circumstances affecting the child where these needs can only be met at this school.
2. Boys who have a sibling attending the school at the date the application is made and on the date of admission.
3. Boys whose parents/guardians worship in a church in membership of Churches Together in England or the Evangelical
Alliance and
a) live within the ecclesiastical parishes of Penwortham (2), Longton, New Longton, Farington Moss, Lostock Hall and Hoole
b) live outside the area
4. Boys whose parents live within the ecclesiastical parishes of Penwortham (2), Longton, New Longton, Farington Moss,
Lostock Hall and Hoole
5. Boys whose parents live outside the area
a) whose parents/guardian show evidence of being active members of a faith other than Christian which is associated
with the UK Inter-Faith Network;
b) other boys on the basis of distance of home from school
Notes:
1b Professional supporting evidence from e.g. a doctor, psychologist, social worker, is essential if admission is to be made under
the criterion for special medical or social circumstances, and such evidence must set out the particular reasons why the
school in question is the most suitable school and the difficulties which would be caused if the boy had to attend another
school. Children with statements of special educational need naming the school will be admitted in accordance with Section
324 of the Education Act 1996.

Parental worshipping is normally taken to mean a minimum of monthly attendance at church at public worship for over at
least six months. The date on which this is judged is 1st September 2015. The governors will request confirmation of this
from the relevant member of the clergy or church officer.

Where there are more applicants for the available places within a category, then the distance between the Ordnance Survey address
points for the school and the home measured in a straight line will be used as the final determining factor, nearer addresses having
priority over more distant ones. This address point is within the body of the property and usually located at its centre.
