Admissions criteria by academic year
The admission arrangements for a school set out how a school will admit pupils. This includes the maximum number of students to be admitted for the relevant year group, the over subscription criteria and information on waiting lists.
The admissions arrangements for all schools must be determined 18 months in advance from September of the academic year to which they are relevant.

Some schools in Hackney have specific admission criteria such as religious criteria. This requires a supplementary information form (SIF) to be completed.
