Kenmore Park Junior School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 3), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1A 'looked after child' 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. 2Children attending the linked infant school. This criterion only applies to infant to junior school applications. All children currently attending Year 2 in a separate infant school have a linked priority to the junior school.
3. 3Children for whom it is essential to be admitted to a specific school because of special circumstances to do with significant medical needs and or social needs. Except in wholly exceptional circumstances such requests will only be considered for the school closest to the home address. The application must be supported by written evidence setting 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. Medical claims must be accompanied by compelling medical evidence from a hospital consultant; social needs claims are considered where there is involvement from a social worker, supported by a letter from a Director of Children's Services. Claims will only be considered for one school, which must be named.
4. 4Medical reasons relevant to parent(s). Parent(s) with special medical reasons for seeking a place for their child at their preferred school. Except in wholly exceptional circumstances such requests will only be considered for the school closest to the home address. Applications will only be considered for the parent(s) with whom the child lives and must be accompanied by compelling medical evidence from a hospital consultant at the time of application.
5. 5Sibling link (i.e. older brothers/sisters). Children with a brother or sister attending the primary, infant school or linked junior school at the time of admission.
6. 6Children of any staff of the school. Children where their parent(s) 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 or where the member of staff has been recruited to a vacant post where there is a demonstrable skills shortage.
7. 7Distance. Children living nearest to the school measured in a straight line from home to school. This must be the address where the parent and child normally live and they must be living there on the closing date for receipt of applications.

If two applications tie: If more applications are received in any one criterion than there are places available the oversubscription criteria will be re-applied followed by the 'tie-breaker' of distance, measured in a straight line. In cases where applicants live equidistant from the preferred school and places cannot be offered to both children, the available place will be allocated using a random computer selection.

London Borough of Harrow is the admission authority for its community schools. Transcribed from PART A(ii) (Admission to Reception class and infant to junior transfer) of Harrow's DETERMINED ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR HARROW COMMUNITY SCHOOLS 2027/2028. Places are offered using an equal preference system: each preference is treated as a separate application and, where an applicant qualifies at more than one school, a place is offered at the one they ranked highest.

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.
