The Governing Body of St Mary Magdalene Catholic Primary School wish to clarify how faith-based oversubscription criteria for Catholic applicants will be interpreted for admission of pupils in September 2022.
On the advice of the Education Service of the Diocese of Arundel & Brighton the governing body of St Mary Magdalene Catholic Primary School has agreed the following statement in order to clarify how its faith-based oversubscription criteria will be interpreted whilst churches are closed or attendance at church is not possible due to COVID19. This statement has been shared widely with local parishes in order to ensure that determinations made by parish priests concerning regular practice of the faith are being made on a consistent basis.

The suspension of the obligation to attend Sunday Mass was announced on 18th March 2020 by Bishops' Conference of England and Wales. If a parent/carer attended Mass at a particular parish (or parishes) prior to 18th March 2020 then they will be considered to have attended Mass in that parish (or parishes) regularly since that time. This will remain the case until the Sunday obligation is reintroduced by the Bishops.
