Admissions are managed by the Local Authority. We admit 90 children per year group. The criteria, in order, are: Looked after children, siblings, exceptional needs, and then distance. If a child is currently at the school's nursery, a common application form for entry into Reception must be completed; priority is not given to children who attend the nursery at the same school. Deferred entry and part-time attendance in Reception are allowed under stated conditions. If applications exceed places, a waiting list is used. Full details are on the Kingston/AfC admissions information pages.
