Admissions criteria How places were offered in 2018
The below criteria has been summarised, for the full admissions
policy and arrangements please visit the school website:
www.woodlands.ealing.sch.uk
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 but immediately after being looked after
became subject to an adoption, child arrangements order,
or special guardianship order.
2. Children with a brother or sister who will be attending the
main school (not the nursery class) at the time of admission.
The words brother and 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 relationship does not apply when the older
child(ren) will leave before the younger one starts.
3. The distance from home to school as measured by straight-
line, from a point in the property to a point in the school
determined by the grid references for the centre of the
school’s postcode.
Tie break
In the event that the distances are equal the Local Authority will
draw lots to determine which applicant should be offered the place.
Twins, triplets or other 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 admitted.
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.
