Admission criteria at Christ Church Primary SW9

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

1. Foundation places (10): baptised children whose parent or carer worships with them at least twice a month for the last year at Christ Church, Brixton Road (on the electoral roll), or lives in the parish and worships at another Churches Together in England church. (The open places also rank children eligible for the Pupil Premium, Early Years Premium or Service Premium after children of staff and before medical or social need; we never assume that priority.)
2. Open places (20): Looked-after and previously looked-after children (including children adopted from state care outside England).
3. Open places: children with a brother or sister at the school when they start.
4. Open places: children of permanent staff employed for two or more years, or recruited to a skills-shortage post.
5. Open places: children with an exceptional, professionally supported medical or social need.
6. Open places: other children, by straight-line distance from the home to the school (council mapping software). Equal distances: lots.

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