Admissions
Catchment and last distance offered
Full schools rank by rules: children in care, often siblings, then distance. The last distance offered changes every year: a hint, not a place.
Read more: Catchment and last distance offered
Admissions
Faith criteria
A full faith school may put families of its faith first, often with a form and a reference of worship. Read its own rules.

Admissions
Appeals and waiting lists
Refused a place? Join the waiting list and appeal to an independent panel. Infant classes are capped at 30, so those appeals rarely win.
Read more: Appeals and waiting lists
Key dates
Apply in autumn, hear in spring
Secondary: apply by 31 October, offers 1 March. Primary: by 15 January, offers 16 April. One form to your council, three to six choices (six in London).

How we rank
What a top list means here
One published measure, one phase, London state schools, latest year. A rank says nothing about fit or admissions.
