Summary of the school's oversubscription criteria for 2027/28 entry as printed by Achieving for Children in Richmond's schools brochure 2027 (the governing body/trust is responsible for the wording; read the full determined policy on the school's website). When deciding between applicants who seemingly have equal entitlement under the above criteria, the governors will take into account the proximity of the applicants’ homes to the school. Priority will be given to those applicants who live nearest to the school, as measured by the shortest route by road or maintained footpath, from the Ordnance Survey grid reference point within the property, to the nearest pedestrian school gate used by the relevant year group. Accessibility of private or public transport will not be considered. All distances will be measured using the School Admissions’ geographical information system. Where two distances are the same a decision will be made using random allocation. Regularly means attendance at worship for at least once a month for a year. A letter from a vicar, minister or religious leader will be sought to verify this. The supplementary form to apply for denominational priority is available on the school website.
