Dear Friends,

St John the Baptist School Application for September 2027 Entry
Parents of children who will be in Year 6 from September and are applying for a place at St John the Baptist School, Woking will need to obtain from the parish a Certificate of Catholic Parish (CCP). By signing a CCP the parish priest affirms that ‘this child and his/her family are known to me and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the child is from a practising Catholic family'. CCPs will be determinant for applications to SJB school for September 2027 intake. Application forms for a CCP can be obtained from the Parish Office or from Fr John. He will need to have evidence of the Catholic practice of the family if he is to sign the form.
