Admissions summary

How places are prioritised

September 2027 entry

Harris Academy Morden Year 7 admissions criteria

Priority order

  1. Children whose EHCP names the academy
  2. Looked-after and previously looked-after children
  3. Children whose exceptional medical or social need is accepted by the academy
  4. Children with an eligible sibling at the academy in Years 7 to 11
  5. Eligible children of Harris Academy Morden staff
  6. All other applicants, ordered by straight-line distance

Sibling priority

The sibling must attend Harris Academy Morden in Years 7 to 11 both at the application deadline and when the applicant starts, and live at the same address as part of the same core family unit.

Children of staff

The parent must be permanently based at Harris Academy Morden for more than 50% of normal weekly term-time hours and have two years' service, or have been recruited for a demonstrable skills shortage.

How distance is measured

Merton's GIS measures straight line from the home-address reference point to the academy's main reception entrance. SchoolRange postcode-centroid screening is approximate.

Evidence to prepare

  • Proof of home address
  • The academy's supplementary form and professional evidence if requesting exceptional-need consideration
  • Sibling details if claiming sibling priority
  • The children-of-staff form completed by the parent and HR manager if claiming staff priority

Other published rules

  • If one child in a multiple birth wins the final available place, the academy admits the other twin, triplet or higher-multiple siblings even if this exceeds PAN.
  • An exact distance tie is resolved by random allocation supervised independently of the academy.

Application deadline

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