The governing body is the admission authority for this voluntary aided school, so these rules are set by the school rather than by the London Borough of Bromley. The published policy for this year does not state an admission number, so none is recorded here rather than one being assumed. The waiting list runs on the same criteria and is kept until at least 31 December; a child directed under the local authority’s fair access protocol may take precedence over children already on it. The same procedure applies to later year groups as well as to Reception, subject to places being available.

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.
