Notice about Baptised Children

When applying for a place at St Edward's as a 'baptised Catholic,' parents must be able to provide a baptism certificate at the point of application.

 

If the child does not have such a certificate, then they will not qualify to be considered under a Catholic criterion.

Schools must not make a judgement, about whether a child would have been baptised but for Covid,
they should continue to apply their admission criteria consistently.

This means not giving priority to children who cannot provide evidence of baptism. It is for parents to manage the timing of baptism to ensure that they are able to comply with that requirement in collaboration with their priest.
