Admissions Criteria

Queensmead participates in the Pan-London Co-ordinated Admissions System. Parents may name up to six different schools on the common application form, and preferences must be ranked in order of priority; only one offer will be made from the highest ranked school able to offer a place. Admissions are determined by the local authorities using their rules. Priority is given to: (1) siblings at the school living at the same address, (2) children of staff (with conditions), (3) children living nearest the school measured in a straight line from home to school. Applicants may view the school prospectus, catchment area map, and related admission policies for further details. Appeals rights are available for unsuccessful applicants and are carried out in accordance with current statutory guidance.
