Admission criteria at St Joseph's Catholic Primary School

If more children apply than there are places, the 2026 rules offer places in this order.

  1. Places are offered under the school's own admission rules, set by its governing body or academy trust and published by the school. Havering's documents don't restate them (Havering: "please check the individual school website for their determined admission arrangements"), so we don't show these rules or judge this school in years when it was full.
  2. Havering's documents don't say where distance comes in this school's rules.

Where a year’s rules are missing from our data, we use the nearest year’s.

Read the official admission rulesHavering Council: School admission arrangements, policies and statistical information, "Determined arrangements": own admission authority schools (academies, faith and foundation) set their own admission rules ("please check the individual school website for their determined admission arrangements"). The school’s own published arrangements always take priority over our summary.
