Local-authority coordinated default oversubscription criteria for London Borough of Camden's community and voluntary-controlled schools (the council is the admission authority). Some community/voluntary-controlled schools in this authority apply catchment-area, feeder-school or priority-area variants — check the individual school for its exact arrangements. Applies specifically to Camden's five named community schools (Acland Burghley, Hampstead, Haverstock, Parliament Hill, Regent High). Regent High School gives additional priority to applicants within the Holborn and Covent Garden ward priority zone, even over distance. Children with an EHCP naming the school are allocated via a separate statutory procedure outside this ranked list.
