  2. Children previously looked after from outside England and subsequently adopted.

  8. Nearness of the child’s permanent home address point and the address point of the School.

Children from outside of these areas are not eligible to be considered under these criteria and therefore cannot take our tests.

Catchment Area.

Oversubscription policy — Before the application of oversubscription criteria, students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the school and who have passed the assessment will be admitted. As a result of this the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly.

  5. Children demonstrating musical aptitude as determined by the Governors' Assessment Procedure (not more than 10 places).

  6. Up to 65 children selected by academic ability, having taken the two parts of the Governors' Entrance Examination. Of these we will admit:

    • As many children from the Islington Priority Area as, when added to the number from that area already admitted under other criteria, will ensure that at least 20 children are admitted from Islington.

    • As many children from the non-Islington Local Priority Areas as, when added to the number from Islington already admitted under the paragraph above, will total not more than 65 children. 

  7. Children of Staff.

  8. Children whose permanent home address is closest to the School at the date of application.
