Admissions summary

How places are prioritised

For September 2027, named EHCPs are admitted first. Hounslow Council then prioritises looked-after children, accepted exceptional medical or social need, siblings and eligible children of staff before other applicants ordered by its official walking-route measurement.

September 2027 entry

The Heathland School Year 7 admissions criteria

Priority order

  1. Children whose EHCP names The Heathland School
  2. Looked-after and previously looked-after children
  3. Children whose exceptional medical or social need is accepted by Hounslow Council
  4. Children meeting The Heathland School's sibling criterion
  5. Eligible children of The Heathland School staff
  6. All other applicants, ordered by Hounslow's official walking-route measurement

Sibling priority

The sibling must live at the same home address and be on roll at The Heathland School in September 2027. For a sibling in Year 11 or Year 12 when the application is made, Hounslow checks whether they are expected to remain at the school.

Children of staff

Priority applies where a parent has been directly employed by The Heathland School for at least two years when the application is made, or was recruited to a post with a demonstrable skill shortage.

How distance is measured

Hounslow measures the walking route from the property's official address seed point to the nearest school gate used by pupils, using Synergy and the Ordnance Survey MasterMap Highways Network. SchoolRange cannot reproduce that official route; postcode-centre straight-line distance is indicative only.

Evidence to prepare

  • Proof of the permanent home address used for the application
  • Sibling details if claiming sibling priority
  • Compelling professional evidence submitted with the application if requesting exceptional medical or social need priority
  • Employment evidence if claiming children-of-staff priority

Other published rules

  • Applicants tied within a criterion are ordered by walking distance; equal official distances are randomly ordered.
  • If the final available place falls to one child from a multiple birth, Hounslow offers places to the other children from that birth even if PAN is temporarily exceeded.

Application deadline

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

What recent offers show

Hounslow published official walking-route cutoffs of 0.923 miles for 2024, 1.030 miles for 2025 and 1.234 miles for 2026. SchoolRange shows these as context but does not compare them directly with its postcode-centre straight-line estimate.
