We haven't finalized our admissions criteria, but suffice to say we've changed our mind about "first come, first serve" which in any event isn't allowed under the current rules. We're now leaning towards exactly the same admissions criteria that the co-educational, secular comprehensives in Ealing embrace, namely, first dibs to children with special educational needs, second dibs to children with siblings at the school and the rest of the places allocated according to proximity to the school. "Partial selection" is allowed under the current rules, whereby you can select 10 per cent of your intake according to their aptitude for your specialism(s), and we will probably do that, with our specialisms being Music and Humanities. Other than that, we'll be non-selective. It's also worth saying that there's no reason to think our school will be oversubscribed, given the increases in capacity that Ealing Council is planning over the next seven years (they don't plan beyond 2016). That means in all likelihood any local child that applies to our school will be offered a place. Hope that clarifies the situation.
