Definition of 'very exceptional' medical grounds

Meppershall Academy will consider your application on medical grounds where there are ‘very exceptional’ medical reasons which make it essential for your child to attend a particular school and where the preferred school is the only school locally that could meet your child’s needs. You will need to submit a medical report from your child’s doctor or consultant, setting out valid medical reasons why it is essential for your child to be admitted to the school in question and the difficulties that would be caused if your child has to attend another school. 

Definition of 'a Christian church'

A ‘Christian’ church is a member, or is eligible for membership, of Churches Together in England or the Evangelical Alliance.
