Julian's School admissions: how far away places were offered

Reception offers at Julian's School, year by year

• “No cut-off” means every applicant was offered a place at the school or at a school they ranked higher, so places never ran out on distance.

Admission criteria at Julian's School

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

1. Looked-after and previously looked-after children (including children adopted from state care outside England).
2. Children with a brother or sister (living at the same address) at the school who will still be on roll when they start.
3. Children with exceptional medical and/or social reasons for this school, with evidence from at least two registered professionals.
4. Children of staff employed by Julian's for at least 0.6 of full time and for at least 2 years.
5. Other children, by the shortest walking route lit by street lighting from the home to the school entrance in Leigham Court Road (Streatham site) or Wolfington Road (West Norwood site). The address is measured to both sites and the school decides at which site to offer a place. We can't measure walking routes, so a year whose places ran out by walking distance isn't judged.

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