Unfortunately, St Judes never has enough places for all the children who would like to study here. From September to November each year there is a process in place to ensure that the most deserving children receive the places there are in Class One for the following year.There is no discrimination on the basis of race, tribe, religion or physical disability.
On Friday a group of children were at the school to undergo a final aptitude test. I understand that each of these children's ages and identities had been checked and two members of staff have visited their homes to see first hand the circumstances in which they live.
One by one they are interviewed and given a series of matching and sequencing tasks.
It is an anxious wait for the parents outside the gate I'm sure
