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.
If two applications tie: Where two or more applicants have the same measured distance and there are insufficient places, priority is given by lowest door number in same multi-occupancy building; if unresolved, or where applicants live at different addresses but have the same measured distance, priority will be determined by drawing lots.
Local-authority coordinated default oversubscription criteria for London Borough of Lewisham'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. Stillness Junior School has its own determined admissions criteria (section 18) which inserts an additional criterion for children attending Stillness Infants currently in Year 2, differing from the default community school order.
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.
