Trinity Church of England School, Belvedere

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Children in Local Authority Care or Previously in Local Authority Care — Defined as children under the age of 18 years for whom the local authority provides accommodation by agreement with their parents/carers (Section 22 of the Children Act 1989) or who ceased to be so because they became subject to an adoption, residence or special guardianship order under Part IV of the Act, or children 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. 2Children who attend a named feeder school at the time of application — Named feeder schools are the primary schools in Trinitas Academy Trust: Christ Church (Erith) C of E Primary School, Erith; Jubilee Primary School, Thamesmead; Northwood Primary School, Erith; St Augustine of Canterbury C of E Primary School, Belvedere; St Paul's (Slade Green) C of E Primary School, Slade Green.
3. 3Children of parents / guardians who regularly attend a Church of England Church — Regular attendance is defined as attending worship at least twice a month, over a minimum of twelve months. Evidence is required on the Supplementary Information Form completed by the parents/guardians and the church clergy (or church leader/religious leader) and returned to the school by the published closing date.
4. 4Children of members of Trinity school staff — In either or both of the following circumstances: (a) where the member of staff has been employed by the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made and/or (b) the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
5. 5Children of parents / guardians who regularly attend a Church which is a member of Churches Together in England, or the Evangelical Alliance — Regular attendance is defined as attending worship at least twice a month, over a minimum of twelve months; evidence required on the Supplementary Information Form.
6. 6Children of parents / guardians who regularly attend their place of worship from another faith — Regular attendance is defined as attending worship at least twice a month, over a minimum of twelve months; evidence required on the Supplementary Information Form.
7. 7Children who have siblings in the school at the time of admission — If over-subscription occurs within this category, places will be offered in order of the age of the sibling - youngest first. A 'sibling' is a child who lives at the same address and is the brother or sister, half-brother or half-sister, step-brother or step-sister, or any other child for whom it can be demonstrated that he/she is residing permanently at the same address (e.g. under the terms of a residence order or foster-care plan).
8. 8Places still available after the previous criteria have been applied, will be offered to children living nearest to the school — Measured by a straight line from the school gate, which has been approved by the governors, to the child's home address. Distance measured using Ordnance Survey address point data as supplied by the Local Authority. In the event of a tie, lots will be drawn.

If two applications tie: Within a category, priority goes first to children who have siblings in the main school at the time of admission (for oversubscription criteria 1 and 2; youngest sibling first), then to those living nearest to the school measured by a straight line from the school gate approved by the governors to the child's home address. In the event of a tie on distance, lots will be drawn.

Published admission number is 180 in Years 7-11. Trinity School admits children from the whole range of academic ability; applicants are not required to take or pass any academic test. All parents/carers are expected to respect the Christian ethos of the school. Appeals must be lodged in writing to the Clerk to the Governors within 14 days.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
