Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary School admissions: how far away places were offered

Reception offers at Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary 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.

Things to know before you apply for September 2027

• Voluntary aided Catholic school (Diocese of Southwark) and the parish school for Our Lady of Pity and St Simon Stock; 30 Reception places.
• Return the school's supplementary information form, the baptism certificate and the Certificate of Practice to the school by the closing date.
• The certificate is needed only for the practising-Catholic category.
• Under the 2027-28 policy, ties within each category go to siblings first, then staff children, then children living in the parish, then social/medical need.
• Any remaining ties are settled by a random ballot, not by distance, so the council publishes no distance cut-off for this school.
• In 2026, non-Catholic children living in the parish came ahead of other children.
• Children with an EHC plan naming the school are admitted first.
• Distance is not used to rank applicants under the current policy (random ballot within each category).
