Baptised definition
Baptised means baptised in the Catholic Church or, if not, then received into the Catholic Church. This is usually evident by a Certificate of Baptism or Reception from the authorities of that church. For the purposes of this policy ‘Catholic’ means a church in full communion with the See of Rome. This includes the Eastern Catholic churches. This will normally be evidenced for a child by a certificate of baptism in a Catholic church or a certificate of reception into the full communion of the Catholic Church.
Baptised means sacramental baptism in accordance with the rights of the Catholic Church. Catholic children baptised in other Christian denominations should have a certificate of reception into the Catholic Church.
Baptised means baptised before the application for a place is made by an authorised Anglican rite or an authorised rite of another Christian church. Children who have not been baptised because of their parents’ allegiance to a particular Christian tradition or denomination but who have been the subject of an authorised and public rite of dedication or thanksgiving will for the purposes of these criteria only be treated in the same way as baptised children. Children baptised by an authorised Anglican rite take precedence over those baptised by the rites of other Christian churches (see Note 1).
