Transcribed verbatim from Sunderland City Council's 'Admission to Primary Schools — Information for parents 2027–2028' booklet, which reproduces the determined admission criteria of every Sunderland primary, infant and junior school. A child with an Education, Health and Care Plan naming the school is admitted first; that is not an oversubscription criterion. Section: 'Hill View Infant Academy' (booklet page 122).

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.
