How places were offered in 2018
Admissions
criteria Offers made on national
offer day
Planned admission number: 240 places Criteria 1 & 2 All applicants offered
Where the number of applications is greater than the
planned admission number, applications will be considered
against the criteria set out below. Criteria 3 Distance of last child to be
offered: 0.960 miles
After the allocation of children with an EHC plan, the
admission criteria will be applied in the following order
of priority:
1. Children in public care
Looked after children or children who were previously
looked after but immediately after being looked after
became subject to an adoption, child arrangements
order or special guardianship order. Children who are
in public care as defined in Section 22 of the 1989
Children’s Act (this includes foster children).
2. Brother or sister who will still be attending the
school at the time of admission
The words brother or sister refer to all blood, half, foster,
step and adoptive brothers and sisters (not cousins) who
live at the same home and in the same family unit as the
child on a permanent basis or for the majority of time in
any calendar year. A sibling connection does not apply
for children whose older sibling will/ may be attending
the 6th form in years 12 & 13.
Waiting lists
The community schools in Ealing will hold waiting lists for
all year groups for one term, after which the waiting list
will cease. If parents wish for their child to continue on the
waiting list they will need to advise the admissions team
before the start of the following term.
When vacancies arise, places will be allocated according to
the oversubscription criteria. Vacancies will be offered to the
pupil with the highest priority on the waiting list, not on a
“first come, first served” basis.
For detailed information about the school and
to read their prospectus please visit the school
website: www.ephs.ealing.sch.uk
3. Distance from the child’s permanent home address
to the preferred school
Distance is measured by straight line from a point in the
property determined by Ordnance Survey to a point in
the school determined by the grid references for the
centre of the school’s postcode.
Tie breaks
In the event that the distances are equal the place will be
randomly allocated by the Local Authority
Twin or children from multiple births
The Local Authority does not give priority under its
admission criteria for twins, triplets or other children from
multiple births, however, the Local Authority will admit
twins and children from multiple births when one of the
siblings is the thirtieth child.
Children of newly appointed staff
After the published offer date, where there is a
demonstrable skills shortage for a vacant post (independent
evidence is required), the admission authority will place the
children of a new appointee for the post in question, at the
top of the waiting list for places at the school.
