was the furthest place offered on offer day for 2026-27 (Reception). That is how far the last place reached in ONE year — not a boundary, and not a guarantee. It moves with the number of applicants, so treat it as a guide rather than a line on a map.
Last distance offered at St Joan of Arc RC Primary School, year by year →
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.
If two applications tie: Where the offer of a place to all the applicants in a category or sub-category would exceed the published admission number (60 children), priority will be given to children living nearest to the school. Distances are calculated by the local authority, using a computerised mapping system. The local authority measures the distance in a straight line from the home address (as defined by the Land & Property Gazetteer) to the midpoint of the school grounds (as determined by Islington Local Authority). In a situation where two families live equidistant from the school, the final place will be offered by random allocation using a lottery. This will take place in the presence of an independent witness.
Within over-subscription criteria 1 to 6, children are sub-prioritised first by: (a) sibling(s) enrolled at the school, then (b) children enrolled at St. Joan of Arc nursery at the date of application. Within criteria 7 to 9, children are sub-prioritised by: (a) children enrolled at St. Joan of Arc nursery at the date of application. A Supplementary Information Form (SIF) is requested but not compulsory; failure to submit it by the closing date will result in the application being categorised under criterion 9.
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.
