Harris Junior Academy Carshalton

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 — A 'looked after child' is a child who is (a) in the care of a Local Authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a Local Authority in the exercise of their social services functions, in England. A 'previously looked after child' is a child who was looked after in England, but ceased to be so because they were adopted, or became subject to a child arrangements or special guardianship order, as well as a child who appears to the Admission Committee (on behalf of the Trust) to have been in state care outside of England, but ceased to be so as a result of being adopted.
2. 2Children attending Victor Seymour Infants' School
3. 3Children with Exceptional medical or social need — For inclusion in this category, either the child or a close family member living with the child at the child's home address, must have an exceptional social and/or medical need which means that only Harris Junior Academy Carshalton Way is suitable for the child to attend, and no other local school is suitable, supported by an appropriate professional. Applications must be accompanied by a completed Exceptional Social and/or Medical Need Supplementary Information Form, to be received by the application deadline.
4. 4Children with a sibling at the Academy in Years 3 to 5 or in Victor Seymour Infants school Nursery – Year 2 — For inclusion in this category, the sibling must attend the Academy in Year 3 to Year 5 at the time of application/the application deadline and when the applicant child is admitted, or be in Nursery - Year 2 at Victor Seymour Infants school at the time of application/the application deadline and when the applicant child is admitted. A 'sibling' is a full sibling, half sibling, step sibling, or a child of their parent's cohabiting partner, living at the same home address as part of the same core family unit.
5. 5Children of staff members employed at Harris Junior Academy Carshalton — The staff member must be permanently based at Harris Junior Academy Carshalton for more than 50% of their normal working hours each week during term time, and have been employed to The Federation for at least two years at the time of application; and/or recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage, as confirmed by their HR Manager. Applications must be accompanied by a completed Children of Staff Supplementary Information Form.
6. 6All other children — This category will include all children who do not fall into any of the oversubscription categories above.

If two applications tie: Where there are more applications than places remaining in any of the oversubscription categories, the order in which places will be allocated will be determined by the distance between the child's home address and the Academy, with those living nearest receiving highest priority. Where two or more children live an equal distance from the Academy, the order in which places are allocated will be determined by random allocation supervised by someone who is independent of the Academy.

PAN of 90 is for Year Three entry. Category 6.1.2 gives priority to children attending Victor Seymour Infants' School, acting as a linked/feeder school arrangement.

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.
