Dunstable Church Schools
Parents wishing to apply this autumn for their children to be admitted to Manshead Upper School in September 2008, on the grounds that they are practising members of the Church of England, are reminded that the Governors require that they have attended public worship regularly during at least the previous six months. I, along with the other local clergy, will sign the application form only when parents can prove that they have fulfilled the Governors' requirement. A small "Record of Attendance" card is available at St Mary's, and parents intending to apply should ensure that they obtain a card and have it signed each time they attend church.
Parents wishing to apply for admission to Ashton Middle School in September 2008 are reminded that the Governors of this School now require confirmation of regular church attendance for the twelve months preceding the application, so such parents should already be attending regularly and getting their cards signed.
The churches are following this procedure to ensure that the available places at these two schools are fairly allocated.
