Over 500 applications for 120 places

Fielding received 509 applications for admission to our Reception classes in September 2019.  Of these, 191 applicants chose Fielding as their first preference school.

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

Nearly 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 0.31 miles from the school, slightly closer compared to last year.  86 offers have been made to children who attend our own Nursery, although admission to Nursery does not result in an automatic offer for Reception.

Ealing Council, the admissions authority for Fielding, is operating a waiting list system for 87 children who have been offered a school place elsewhere but have placed Fielding as a higher preference school.

Parents who applied to Fielding this year highlighted:

• continuity in joining Reception from our Nursery;
• the success of older brothers and sisters already in school;
• and for new families to the school, the positive impression that Year 6 pupils had given during our open morning tours and the resources available to a larger school, including specialist French, music and PE teaching.

Parents must now accept or decline the offer by 30th April.
