Admission criteria

Community schools

The community primary schools within Southwark all have the same oversubscription criteria. The oversubscription criteria is used to determine whether a place can be offered to a child when a school has received more applications than there are places available.

View Southwark Council's oversubscription criteria for community schools 2012/13 for more information.

Academy, voluntary aided, foundation and free primary schools

The school governors set their own admission criteria for all Southwark academy, voluntary aided, foundation and free primary schools.

You can view the admission criteria for these schools from page 29 onwards in the Starting primary school in Southwark 2012/13 brochure.
