September 2027 entry

Brentside High School Year 7 admissions criteria

Priority order

  1. Children whose EHCP names the school
  2. Looked-after and previously looked-after children
  3. Children meeting the published sibling criterion
  4. Eligible children of Brentside High School staff
  5. All other applicants, ordered by straight-line distance

Sibling priority

The determined policy requires an older sibling attending at application and says that sibling will still be at the school in September 2026. Because that date appears inconsistent with 2027 entry, confirm eligibility with the school before relying on it.

Children of staff

A parent must have worked at Brentside for at least two years before the application date, or have been recruited for a demonstrable skills shortage.

How distance is measured

Straight line from the home's front door to the nearest gated entrance used by pupils, using Tribal software and Ordnance Survey mapping. Postcode-centroid screening is only approximate.

Evidence to prepare

  • Proof of home address
  • Applicant and sibling date-of-birth evidence if claiming sibling priority
  • Employment evidence if claiming children-of-staff priority

Application deadline

Apply through the council where your child lives, even if the school is in another borough.

What recent offers show

Ealing Council reported that all applicants were offered places in both 2025 and 2026, so it published no distance cutoff for those years.
