Admissions

You are warmly invited to visit and see the school in action; this can be arranged by calling the school office and making an appointment or emailing adminteam@staugustinewebster.net

We look forward to welcoming you and hope that you are excited to see in person, all that our school has to offer your child and family.

Waiting Lists

Parents whose children have not been offered a place at a school in the normal admissions round will be added to the school’s Waiting List unless they have been offered a place at a higher preference school. The Waiting List will normally remain open until the end of the Autumn Term in the application year. However, some schools may maintain the Waiting List until the end of the academic year. Parents should contact the relevant school to request further details.

Note: Management of Waiting Lists for schools in North Lincolnshire – North Lincolnshire Council maintain Waiting Lists until the end of August and then it is passed to the school.

Waiting Lists are maintained in the same order as the oversubscription criteria listed below and not in the order in which applications are received or added to the Waiting List. This means that your child’s position on the Waiting List may change during the year.

For more information on waiting lists, please see our Admissions Policy.

Admission Authority

The Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Multi-Academy Trust is the admission authority for all the schools within the Trust and is responsible for determining the admissions policy.

On behalf of the Trust, the admissions are coordinated by the relevant Local Authority. All decisions relating to admission applications will be taken by the school’s Local Governing Body.
