Last distance offered at Barnsbury Primary School and Nursery, year by year →
When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), 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 children share a priority for a place when using distance as a tie breaker, e.g., where two children live equidistant from the SWAN school that was applied for, the school will draw lots at the initial time of ranking to determine which child should be given priority.
This policy covers multiple schools within The SWAN Trust. The criteria above represent the general oversubscription criteria for Barnsbury, Beaufort, Kingfield, Goldsworth, and St John's. Separate ordered criteria apply for: The Horsell Village School (Infant) — adds criterion 5 'Previous siblings still at the same address'; The Hermitage Infant School and Knaphill Lower School (Year R) — uses Notes 3b/3c for siblings; The Hermitage Junior School and The Knaphill School (Junior) (Year 3) — uses Notes 3b/3c for siblings and adds criterion 5 'Children attending The Hermitage Infant School or Knaphill Lower School'. Distance (straight line to nearest official school gate) is the within-priority tie-breaker before the random draw. Individual PANs are listed per school: Barnsbury 60, Beaufort 60, Horsell Village 90, Goldsworth 90, Hermitage Infant 60, Knaphill Lower 60, Kingfield 30, St Johns 30, Hermitage Junior 60, Knaphill Junior 60.
