Fielding received over over 500 applications for 120 places in Reception 2023:

• 568 applications;
• of these, 183 applicants chose Fielding as their first preference school;
• 76 children already attend our Nursery.

 

As part of the pan London admission arrangements, offers for our 120 Reception class places have been made to parents today.

 

Around half of children offered a place at Fielding already have a brother or sister at the school.  The remaining places were allocated according to distance criteria with the last offer being made to a child living just 0.4 miles from the school. 

 

For parents who were not offered a place in the first round of admissions:

• Ealing Council, the admissions authority for Fielding, is operating a waiting list system for children who have been offered a school place elsewhere but have placed Fielding as a higher preference school;
• families' circumstances sometimes change and not every family offered a place accepts;
• families' lives change during Reception, year 1 and year 2 resulting in vacancies during and at the end of each school year;
• from year 3 onwards, we offer 8 additional pupil places.
