Admission criteria at Clockhouse Primary School

If more children apply than there are places, the 2026 rules offer places in this order. In 2026, the last places went to children in group 5.

1. Looked-after children and children who were looked after until they were adopted or placed under a child arrangements or special guardianship order, including children who were in state care outside England.
2. Children with an exceptional medical or social need for this school, backed by evidence from a professional (such as a doctor, consultant or social worker) showing why no other school could meet it, decided by a panel of council officers.
3. Children with a brother or sister at the school (not in a nursery class) who will still be there when the child starts. Brothers and sisters include half, step, adoptive and foster siblings living as one family at the same address.
4. Children of a teacher or teaching assistant employed at the school for at least 0.6 of full time (16.5 hours) who has worked there for at least two years when the application is made.
5. Other children, nearest first: a straight line from the school's predetermined point to the address point of the home (the centre of the home, or of the block of flats). Nearer children also come first within the groups above. Equal distances, or homes in the same block of flats, are settled by a draw by a council officer not involved in admissions.
