North Ealing is a very popular, oversubscribed school and it may not be possible to offer your child a place. You may join a "waiting list" and when a space becomes available we will offer it to the child who best matches the LEA admissions criteria mentioned below. If you wish to remain on the list please let us know by contacting us every half term. If we do not hear from you we will remove your child's name from the list after a few months.
You have the right to appeal to the Local Authority if you are not able to get a place at North Ealing and details are available from the School Office.
Admissions Policy
The local education authority is responsible for deciding and administering the admissions policy for this school. Parents have a right to express a preference for the school they wish their child to attend. If a child lives in the catchment area for this school, he or she will have priority for a place [click here to view catchment map].

The same criteria will be used to allocate any vacancies remaining after all catchment area children have been accommodated.

3. Exceptional medical reasons relating to the child
4. Exceptional personal circumstances
