A child is regarded as having been in state care outside of England if they were in the care of or were accommodated by a public authority, a religious organisation, or any other provider of care whose sole or main purpose is to benefit society. These children will be referred to as internationally adopted previously looked after children (IAPLAC). A previously looked after child means such children who were adopted (or subject to child arrangements orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after and those children 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.

Health and Special Access Reasons — Medical, health, social and special access reasons will be applied in accordance with the school's legal obligations, in particular those under the Equality Act 2010. Priority will be given to those children whose mental or physical impairment means they have a demonstrable and significant need to attend a particular school. Equally this priority will apply to children whose parents'/guardians' physical or mental health or social needs mean that they have a demonstrable and significant need to attend a particular school.

How places are decided at Thamesview School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked After Children, previously Looked After Children and Internationally adopted previously adopted previously looked after children — A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of making an application to a school or (c) including those children 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.

A previously looked after child means such children who were adopted (or subject to child arrangements orders or special guardianship orders) immediately following having been looked after and those children 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.
2Current Family Association — A brother or sister in the same school at the time of entry.

3Health and Special Access Reasons — Medical, health, social and special access reasons will be applied in accordance with the school's legal obligations, in particular those under the Equality Act 2010.

Such claims will need to be supported by written evidence from a suitably qualified medical or other practitioner who can demonstrate a special connection between these needs and Thamesview School.
4Nearness of children's homes to school — We use the distance between the child's permanent home address (defined in KCC's annual admissions prospectus) and the school, measured in a straight line using the National Land and Property Gazetteer (NLPG) address point. Distances are measured from a point defined as within the child's home to a point defined as within the school as specified by NLPG. The same address point on the school site is used for everybody.

If two applications tie: In a tie breaker situation, the nearness of an applicant's home to school will be the decider. In the event more than one applicant has the same distance from home to school (as measured by the local authority) then a random selection will be applied.

PAN of 210 applies to Years 7, 8, 9 and 10; PAN for Year 11 is 180. Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted before oversubscription criteria are applied, and the PAN is reduced accordingly, but this is not itself numbered as a criterion. A concession allows admission above PAN for multiple-birth or same-cohort siblings when the last offered place would otherwise be taken.

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.
