How places are decided at Thomas Jones Primary School

3Siblings — To brothers and sisters of children already on the roll of the school who will still be in the school at the time the applicant is admitted. This includes half-brothers or half-sisters, adopted brothers or sisters, stepbrothers or stepsisters or the children of the partner of the parent or carer provided that they live at the same address as the applicant.

4Children of staff — Children whose parent is a qualified teacher for a minimum of 0.6fte (16.5 hours teaching staff) who has been employed at the school concerned for two or more years at the time of application and/or children of any member of staff who has been recruited to fill a vacancy for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage [refer to note (iii)].
5Proximity to school — Children living nearest to the school calculated as a straight line. The distance from home to school will be calculated as a straight-line to the main entrance of the school building used by pupils. For any school that has more than one entrance of the school building used by pupils, the entrance of the main school reception will be used as the measuring point. The Council will have the measuring point identified by each community school and will use its computerised measuring system to determine the distance. The child living closest to the school will receive the highest priority. Accessibility by car or public transport will be disregarded.

If two applications tie: If applicants share the same address point (for example, those who live in the same block of flats or shared house) priority will be determined by random allocation. If two or more applicants live at exactly the same distance from the school, the offer of a place will be decided by random allocation. If in any of the categories 1, 2, 3 or 4 there are more applicants than there are places available, priority will be given to applicants who live nearest the school on the basis described in (5) above.

Local-authority coordinated default oversubscription criteria for Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC)'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. Fox Primary School has separate, distinct oversubscription criteria (designated priority area) which is not part of the default arrangements extracted here.

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.
