Sutton Local Authority Admissions -Applying for a Primary School Place

The admissions arrangements and criteria for Reception at High View Primary are as follows

All children begin in Reception in the Autumn term of the year that they have their fifth birthday. Entry dates are staggered carefully throughout the beginning of the Autumn term so that the children can be introduced and settled gradually.

If the school is oversubscribed, priority will be given to children fulfilling the following criteria in the order listed.

1. Looked After Children and previously Looked After Children.
2. Where there are professionally supported medical reasons or exceptional social reasons why a child should attend a particular school.
3. Where applicants have a sibling in the school at the time of admission.
4. Remaining places are offered on the basis of proximity to the school, measured in a straight line from the child’s home address to the main entrance of the school building, with those living closer to the school receiving higher priority.

Please note

• No priority is given to children attending our school nursery.    

• If you already have a sibling at our school there is no automatic placement, you must still make an application online with your local authority.
