St John's Highbury Vale CofE Primary School - London N5

[tiredlookingmummy]

Hi,

We have just moved into the area and looking to apply to this school for DC next year. We live about 0.5 miles from the school and DH and I both CofE.

I read it is oversubsribed, but by how much? does anyone have LO's in this school and did you get accepted right away or have to appeal?

Thanks

You have to go to church, I gather. A lot. They take a register, apparently. Arf.

Islington Council's booklet will have the admissions criteria and should say how many kids were admitted under each criterion last year, which should give you some idea.

I think this year's reception is made up of only siblings. That's what someone told me although this may well be one of those playground rumours that fly around. It's single form entry and I think there's a lot of competitive running the church play group etc.
