Catholic Secondary school, how do they check that you go to Mass?

Its an option to go to the catholic school we went to. Schools in the area are not very good. This one is on the doorstep and is very good. Trouble is, my friend does not attend Mass very regularly with her son. At the open night she was told priority goes to those baptised catholic, have attended catholic primary school and go to Church on a regular basis. Her son only ticks the first two boxes. Does anyone know what kind of form the priest will sign? What if you were as quiet as a mouse and sat on the back row every week, would he even know you where there? Thanks!

With my sister and niece, there was a little red book that each prospective (new - ie not prev at a RC school) entrant to either primary, middle or secondary school had to have signed every time they went to church. In that area the Catholic schools are very good, and thus MASSIVELY over-subscribed. Not all children who went 'regularly' to church got into the school. My DSis now goes every single week...
