Waiting Lists
Croydon Council manages our waiting list for Reception - Year 6. If you have made an application for Reception - Year 6, you will need to contact Croydon Admissions directly for information on where your child is on the waiting list or if there are spaces in the year that you have applied for.
Your Child’s Position on the Waiting List
Your child's position on a waiting list can go down as well as up. This will occur if other children are added to the list because they have greater priority against the school's admission criteria.
For more information about adding your child to our waiting list please visit here
