School Admissions

Havering Council (the Local Authority) is the admission authority for all community schools in the London Borough of Havering. This means that it is the Council’s responsibility to set the admissions criteria and make the decisions as to which pupils are admitted to this school.

The admission arrangements and timeframes for applying for a place at our school can be viewed via www.havering.gov.uk/admissions/primary, this page includes an online brochure which contains all the information you need to know.
