The number of applications we receive per year greatly exceeds the number of available spaces. We accept a fixed number of pupils per year and this is done in accordance with the school’s admission policy.

Please read this information carefully to ensure that your child’s application is processed promptly and efficiently:

1. You must download the application form by visiting our downloads page.
2. Print the application form using black ink.
3. Please complete the form in clear, legible handwriting, ensuring you have signed and dated it in the correct place.
4. Post the completed form to the school address.
5. Once your application has been received, an acknowledgement card will be posted to you detailing a reference number that should be quoted in all correspondence with us regarding your application.
6. Our main intake is for one reception class in September of each year. You must submit your application (for a child of the correct age for admission) between April and December of the year preceding admission to a new reception class, for your application to be considered for it. You will then hear whether or not your application has been successful in the February of the year your child is due to begin school insha’Allah.
7. If you have applied for a Reception place after our intake for September has been admitted, or for a place in another class, then your application will be placed on our waiting list for the appropriate class and will be considered should a place arise.
8. During our routine admissions period for the new Reception class intake, we will invite those attracting greatest priority to the school for a short interview. They will also have an opportunity to take a look around the school at this time.

There is a waiting list for each class. These do tend to be quite lengthy but are not ordered by date of application. Application forms are vetted by our selection criteria and their position on the waiting list of a class is determined by this.

What are the admissions criteria?

These are based on our selection criteria. These currently are:

Level of commitment to our school’s values
A shared ethos shapes a strong and vibrant school community.

Proximity to the school
Being close to the school will help punctuality and lessen road traffic.

Mode of transport to school
The school encourages the use of "environmentally-friendly" forms of transport to school.

Social factors
We pay heed to applicants demonstrating a need for extra support due to social or domestic problems, as well as applications from members of staff.

Siblings already enrolled at the school
Siblings gain automatic entry to the school.

Should any two applications qualify equally for a single place then we will apply a closest-to-school oversubscription criteria and the closer address would gain the place.

Can I appeal if my application is unsuccessful?

If you feel that your application has not been dealt with fairly please put your concerns down in writing to the headteacher, within two weeks of the notification.
