Local-authority coordinated default oversubscription criteria for Enfield Council'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. Document also contains separate (largely similar) oversubscription criteria for nursery classes, junior school transfers, and secondary community schools (Chace Community, Highlands, Winchmore), each with the same core order but school-specific priority zones (e.g. Chase Side Primary, Chace Community). The secondary section text is truncated in the source. EHCP-named placements are handled outside/before the oversubscription criteria per statutory requirement.
