Admissions Criteria: September 2026
The Hinchley Wood Learning Partnership and the Thames Ditton Junior School Local Governing Body recently carried out a consultation on proposed admission arrangements for entry to Year 3 in September 2026, in accordance with the School Admissions Code.
Following careful consideration of the feedback received, the Trust Board has approved a reduction in the Published Admission Number (PAN) for Year 3 from 90 to 60, effective from September 2026.
In addition, the Thames Ditton Junior School Local Governing Body has approved an amendment to the Supplementary Information Form relating to applications under the Children of Staff criterion.
Admission Criteria are as follows:
- Looked after children and previously looked after children
- Exceptional social/medical need
- Siblings, at the time of admission
- Children of staff at the school
- Children attending Thames Ditton Infant School
- Any other children
N.B. Criteria 5 will only apply until 31st August 2026 after which time any children on the waiting list from Thames Ditton Infant School will lose the feeder school link and be re ranked. All children on the Year 3 waiting list from September 1st will be offered available places directly from the school rather than from Surrey Admissions. The feeder link (Thames Ditton Infant School) will remain for new applications for the following year.
