Reigate Priory Community Junior School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 3), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Looked after and previously looked after children
2. 2Exceptional social or medical need — Exceptional social/medical need
3. 3Children of a member of staff
4. 4Siblings
5. 5Children attending Dovers Green Infant or Holmesdale Community Infant schools — Children attending Dovers Green Infant or Holmesdale Community Infant schools. This criterion will only apply to children who attend Dovers Green Infant or Holmesdale Community Infant schools in Year 2 and will not be applied once a child has left these schools
6. 6Any other children

If two applications tie: Where more children qualify under a criterion than there are places left, the remaining places go to those living nearest, measured to the front door of the Reigate Priory building in Priory Park, Reigate.

Surrey County Council is the admission authority for community and voluntary controlled schools and determines these arrangements. This school does not use the county’s standard list — Surrey sets school-specific criteria for it in section 8 of the arrangements. Both the exceptional social or medical need priority and the children-of-staff priority need their own supplementary form returned by the closing date, or they are not applied. At this school, a brother or sister already at the school ranks above attending Dovers Green Infant or Holmesdale Community Infant schools. That infant-school priority only counts while the child is in Year 2 there; it stops applying once they have left. Determined by Surrey County Council, the admission authority for its community and voluntary controlled schools; determined December 2025 for entry in 2027/28. Ranking taken from section 8 (school-specific list) of the determined arrangements. If the number of children who qualify under any criterion is greater than the number of places remaining available at the school, any remaining places will be offered to children who meet the criterion on the basis of proximity of the child’s home address to the front door of the Reigate Priory building in Priory Park, Reigate, with children living nearest receiving the greater priority.
