Primary Admissions Procedure

Willow Brook Primary is a three form entry Primary School (90 pupils in every year group). Our admissions are managed by the London Borough of Waltham Forest (LBWF). We follow the Waltham Forest community schools criteria, except for the sibling definition.*

If there are more applications than there are places available at a school, the following criteria, in priority order, is used to decide who should be offered a place.

Please note, Special Educational Needs Children who have a statement of special educational needs or Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) are placed in schools under the terms of the Education Act 1996 and the Children and Families Act 2014. They are not considered under the Admission Criteria referred to below. These children and young people will be allocated a place at the school they must attend which will be named on the Statement or EHCP.

Priority 1 – Looked-After Children or previously Looked-After Children
Priority 2 – Medical or social reasons or Children ‘At Risk’
Priority 3 – Siblings*
Priority 4 – School staff children
Priority 5 – Distance

*Sibling means:

  • a full brother or sister;
  • a half-brother or sister;
  • a stepbrother or stepsister; and
  • foster brother or sister;
  • child of a parent or carer’s partner living at the same address

In all cases, the sibling must be living at the same address and must still attend the school at the time of admission of the child for whom the application is being made. If you do not provide the name and date of birth of your child’s sibling, we will not be able to take it into account and it will affect your child’s chances of being offered a place at the school.

More detailed information on the criteria and how to apply for a Primary School place is available on the Waltham Forest website which you can access by following this link: walthamforest.gov.uk/content/applying-primary-school-place

If you wish to make an application please use Waltham Forest’s eAdmissions portal.
