Grange Park School

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

1. 1A looked after child (as defined in the Children Act 1989) 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, known as internationally adopted previously looked after children (IAPLAC).
2. 2Children with a long-term medical or social condition which necessitates their attendance at Grange Park School rather than an alternative school. Details of that long-term medical or social condition must be supported by a doctor’s statement and must be disclosed at the time of application. Governors reserve the right to make further enquiries regarding an application made on medical grounds. If you apply for a place on such grounds it will be deemed that you have given consent to such enquiries being made. A signed consent form under the Access to Medical Records will be required. Please note that Grange Park School has no special provision for children with a medical condition which cannot be offered by other schools in the locality. The application must explain clearly the extra provision provided by Grange Park School which is the basis of the application.
3. 3Where a member of the immediate family, living permanently at the same address, has a long-term medical or social condition which necessitates the child’s attendance at Grange Park School rather than an alternative school. Details of that long-term medical or social condition must be supported by a doctor’s statement and must be disclosed at the time of application. Governors reserve the right to make further enquiries regarding an application made on medical grounds if you apply for a place on such grounds it will be deemed that you have given consent to such enquiries being made. A signed consent form under the Access to Medical Records will be required.

5. 5Children of staff where the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage
6. 6Children living nearest to Grange Park School. Distance will be measured as set out below in note (i).

If two applications tie: Notes: i) Distance criterion: Priority will be given within each criterion above to those living nearest the school according to distance which will be measured in a straight line from the point set by Ordnance Survey at the child’s home address and Grange Park School (Ordnance Survey coordinate 509872 182059) using Hillingdon Council’s computerised mapping system.

Council notes printed with the criteria: Notes: i) Distance criterion: Priority will be given within each criterion above to those living nearest the school according to distance which will be measured in a straight line from the point set by Ordnance Survey at the child’s home address and Grange Park School (Ordnance Survey coordinate 509872 182059) using Hillingdon Council’s computerised mapping system. ii) Home address definition: Where there is a genuine 50/50 share care arrangement with your child’s other parent, then the home address of the parent who is in receipt of child benefit will be used for the purpose of the application. In cases where parents are not eligible for child benefit the home address will be that of the parent where the child is registered with the doctor.
