Admissions criteria and arrangements for
Reception places in community schools
Please see pages 28 to 30 for individual admissions criteria for Frithwood Primary School,
Harmondsworth Primary School, and Heathrow Primary School.

children who meet the criteria set out below.
1. A looked after child (as defined in the Children Act 1989) or a child who was previously looked
after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements,
or special guardianship order including those who appear [to the admission authority] to have
been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
2. Children attending Year 2 at the linked infant school are given priority for admission to the
junior school (this applies to junior school applications only).
3. Children who suffer from a long-term medical or social condition, which makes it
necessary for them to attend a particular school.
4. Children who have a member of the immediate family who suffers from a long-term medical
or social condition, which makes it necessary for them to attend a particular school.
5. Children who have a sibling* living within the distance priority radius.
6. Children who have a sibling* who was admitted to the full-time school prior to 31 August 2017.

address and the school, using Hillingdon Council’s computerised mapping system.
The supporting evidence in criteria 3 and 4 above should set out the particular reasons why the school
in question is the most suitable and the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend
another school. The admissions authority cannot give higher priority to children under these criteria if
the required documents have not been produced. Applications must be supported by medical evidence
from a GP or hospital consultant. Please refer to page 11 for full information on the medical criteria

The distance priority radius for each community school will be set as follows:
One-form entry school = 500 metres
Two-form entry school = 750 metres
Three-form entry school = 1,000 metres
Four-form entry school = 1,250 metres
Five-form entry school = 1,500 metres (currently no community schools have a full intake of five

automatic. If you do not apply, you may lose your entitlement to a place at the linked junior school.
Children attending a primary school do not need to apply to continue into Year 3 in the same school;
however, they are entitled to make an application for a Year 3 place at a junior school if they would like
to change schools.

How to apply
If your child was born between 1 September 2015 and 31 August 2016, you can submit an application
by visiting www.hillingdon.gov.uk/schooladmissions and clicking on the ‘Apply for junior school’
link. This page will give you more information about making an application and provides access to the
online common application form.
The process for applying online is the same as detailed on pages 9 to 10.
The deadline for making an application is Sunday 15 January 2023; however, we recommend that you
submit an application as soon as possible.
National offer day is Monday 17 April 2023 and, if you apply online you will receive the notification of
your outcome by email on offer day.

Other information
Applications can be made for junior schools for any pupil, as long as they are currently in Year 2. The
allocation process is not limited only to pupils currently attending infant schools; however, priority is
given to pupils attending an infant school who wish to be admitted to their linked junior school.
You can make an application for a different junior school.
If you live in Hillingdon but need to apply for a junior school outside the borough, you will need to
apply through Hillingdon.
If you do not live in Hillingdon, but need to apply for a junior school in Hillingdon, you will need to
apply through your own local authority.
You can only submit a junior school application for the Hillingdon schools listed below. All other
primary schools in Hillingdon do not take part in the junior allocation process.
• Coteford Junior School • Minet Junior School
• Field End Junior School • Newnham Junior School

One-form entry school = 500 metres
Two-form entry school = 750 metres
Three-form entry school = 1,000 metres
Four-form entry school = 1,250 metres
Five-form entry school = 1,500 metres (currently no community schools have a full intake of five

Possible reductions in a few schools’ admissions numbers and temporary caps on specified year groups
The local authority will have the option to consider the case for reducing the Published Admissions
Number (PAN) of some schools from Reception in 2022 which have experienced changed
circumstances and already have classes smaller than the expected size of 30 pupils. If plans
progress, details will be published on our website in the autumn naming the schools. This will be
before the date by when parents must confirm their preferences.
There is the option to consider a cap on PANs in specific year groups in some schools. This is to avoid
disruption to class sizes and teaching arrangements for existing pupils at a later stage. These
changes will only be agreed when it is clear there are sufficient other places available locally for
parents, and once agreed, will be clearly indicated on our website. Any changes can quickly be
reversed should extra places be required.

after but, immediately after being looked after, became subject to an adoption, child
arrangement, or a special guardianship order.
2. Children who have a brother or sister in attendance at the school at the time of admission.
Sibling refers to brother or sister, half-brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, step brother

b. the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill
shortage of high calibre applicants and/or hard to recruit for vacancies
5. Children living nearest to the school, measured in a straight line from the point set by Ordnance
Survey at the child’s home address (including flats), which constitutes their parents’ or guardians’
permanent home (this will be the building which constitutes the main dwelling and excludes
garages or other outhouses of any kind), to a fixed point in the school set by Ordnance Survey
coordinates 511208.0, 182523.0. All measurements will be made via the local authority using the
computerised Geographical Information System (GIS), which will be regarded as definitive.
Important notice

Where asked for supporting documentation, this needs to be sent directly to the school, clearly marking
the envelope with your child’s forename, surname, address and date of birth. Please also supply a

The Douay Martyrs Catholic Secondary School

Summary of the admissions criteria

1. Catholic looked after children and Catholic children who have been adopted (or made subject to
child arrangement orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been
looked after. (See Notes information below)
2. Baptised Catholic students with a Certificate of Catholic Practice from the priest where the
family worships.
3. Other baptised Catholic students with evidence of Baptism (usually a Baptismal Certificate).
4. Any other looked after children who have been adopted (or made subject to child arrangement
orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after. (See
Notes information below)
5. Children of Catechumens and members of Eastern Christian churches.
6. Other Christian denominations supported by a letter from a minister/religious leader, showing
membership of the faith community.
7. Any other applicants.
Notes
A ‘Looked After Child’. Has the same meaning as in Section 22 of the Children Act 1989, and means any
child who is (a) in care of the local authority or (b) being provided with accommodation by them (e.g.
children with foster parents) at the time of making an application to the school. Included in this
definition are those children who appear (to the governing body) to have been in state care outside of
England and who cease to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
A ‘Previously Looked After Child’ is a child who was looked after, but ceased to be so because he or she
was adopted or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order. Included
in this definition are those children who appear (to the governing body) to have been in state care
outside of England and who ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
Where the offer of places to all the applicants in any of the categories listed above would lead to
oversubscription, the following provision will be applied.
1. Exceptional Needs. The local governing board will give top priority within a category where
evidence is provided at the time of application of an exceptional social, medical or pastoral need of
the child which can only be met at this school. To demonstrate this the local governing board will
require compelling written evidence from an appropriate professional, such as a social worker,
doctor or priest.
2. Siblings will have priority within each category (after those with exceptional needs above). The
definition of a sibling is brother or sister attending the school in years 7 to 13. To qualify as a sibling
the Admissions Committee need there to be a reasonable expectation that the student currently on
roll at the school will still be attending the school at the time of admission of the sibling. Reasonable
expectation would exist in year groups 7 to 10 and in 12 where a student was on the first year of a
two-year course. In Year 11 expectation could only exist if entry to The Douay Martyrs Sixth Form
seemed likely and in Year 13 if the student was on the first year of a two-year course.

include siblings who were admitted to Years 12 or 13 as external candidates.
In this category, by ‘sibling’, we mean:

home address (as defined by this policy) or with another parent; and:
• a foster brother or sister (in public care or under a private fostering agreement);
• a step-brother or sister (one child’s parent married to the other child’s parent); or
• a natural, adopted or foster child of the applicant’s parent’s cohabiting partner;
5. Any surplus places not filled by any of the above criteria will be allocated to Sikh children (80%)
and those of other faiths (20%) who live closer to the school.
• Please see school website for full arrangements.
Please note that the school requires a Supplementary Information Form in category 5 to signify the faith
group, which is obtainable from and returnable to the school.

At the time of publication, schools that request proof of worship to apply to their oversubscription admissions criteria may
have requested a variation to their admission arrangements from the Office of the Schools Adjudicator. Variations may
