Applicants will be admitted to the school in the following order of priority:

  1. Looked After Children
  2. Children who, at the time of their proposed admission to the school, will have a sibling (that is a brother or sister) attending Greenford High School. Independent verification may be required to prove that a sibling relationship exists, for example birth certificates
  3. All other applications

Casual admissions
The Admissions Committee will consider applications for admissions at a time other than at the start of the School Year in accordance with the school’s admissions policy.

Oversubscription criteria for casual admissions
Applicants will be admitted to the school in the following order of priority:

  1. Looked After Children
  2. Children who currently do not have a place at a maintained school.
  3. Children who, at the time of their proposed admission to the School, will have a sibling (that is a brother or sister) attending Greenford High School. Independent verification may be required to prove that a sibling relationship exists, for example birth certificates
  4. All other applications

In the event of there being insufficient vacancies to admit all applicants in all of the categories detailed above, priority will be given to children whose parents'/legal guardians' residential address is the shortest distance from the centre of the school site, as measured by a straight line. In those instances where applicants have the same priority on distance, the tiebreaker shall be random allocation.
