Ealing Fields High School
Admissions criteria
The below criteria has been summarised, for the full
admissions policy and arrangements please visit the school
website: www.ealingfields.co.uk
Planned admission number: 120 places
Where the number of applications is greater than the
planned admission number, applications will be considered
against the criteria set out below.
After the allocation of children with an EHC plan, the
admission criteria will be applied in the following order
of priority:
1. Looked-after children or children who were previously
looked after. 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 their exercise of
their social services functions (section 22(1) Children
Act 1989). Previously looked after children are those
who have been adopted, or have become subject to a
child arrangements order or special guardianship order
immediately following having been looked after.
2. Siblings of children who will still be attending the school
in the academic year of admission Children are siblings
if they are step-siblings (Includes the unrelated children
of unmarried couples living in the same household),
adopted or foster brothers or sisters living in the same
family unit at the time when the child is due to start in
the school.

If the school is oversubscribed, names of all unsuccessful
applicants will be placed on a waiting list. Applications will
be ranked in accordance with the oversubscription criteria.
New applicants will be added to the list in accordance with
the oversubscription criteria.
As admissions are an annual process, the waiting list will only
run for one academic year.
Sixth form admissions
Ealing Fields Sixth Form will open in September 2021. The
admissions policy for the Sixth Form will be the subject of
consultation and review prior to admitting Year 12 students.
This consultation will take place between 1 October 2019
and 31 January 2020.

3. Distance from the South Ealing station nodal point
with priority for admission given to children who live
nearest. The distance from home to the nodal point
is measured ‘as the crow flies’. Distance is calculated
using the Local Authority’s computerised measuring
system, which is an integral part of the admissions
software produced by Synergy.
Tie Breaks
In the event of two or more applications that cannot
otherwise be separated, applications will be put into rank
order by random allocation, using computer software.
Places will be offered strictly in accordance with the rank
order.
Multiple Birth and Same Year Siblings:
Where applications are received from twins, triplets or
other multiple birth siblings and one child is selected for a
place, Ealing Fields will admit over the published admission
number (PAN) in order to support the family. This will only
apply where one sibling would be within the PAN and the
other sibling(s) would be above the PAN (i.e. where the
120th place is offered to a multiple-birth sibling).
