Christian Orthodox in Catholic School - Possible or not?

When I was selecting primary school for my son, I went to the closest Catholic school, which has an excellent reputation, but was completely disappointed from one of the parent liaison officers. She told me that the chance for my son to receive a place there was very poor as we are not Catholics.
I found out that recently this has been changed, and children from other Christian religions can be accepted.
Does someone have any information for the above and what actions do I need to take in order to move my children from the primary school they are attending now? Is that possible at least from the beginning of next school year? They are currently in years 2 and 4.Thanks!

You might be better asking this on the main Education board (not in local)? My nearest Catholic school (I'm in Bromley too, but there are several so yours may not be the same?), Catholics are given priority, but if all the spaces are not filled (happens some years, not others), then children from other Christian religions are then admitted above children of other faiths or none. If you want to move your children across, I imagine it would depend on whether they currently have spaces, and if not, I believe they would be operating a waiting list.

Thank you.
I have checked with the school admission policy and it says that they even have Catholics waiting long time for a space and other religions have a very poor chance to get into it.
