Admissions
​
If your child was born between 1 September 2015 and 31 August 2016, you will need to apply for a reception class place in an infant or primary school for September 2020.
​
If your child lives in Newham you will need to apply via London Borough of Newham. But if your child lives outside Newham, you will need to apply through the local authority in the borough you live in.
​
Remember, you must always apply for a place, even if your child:
​
1. Already attends the nursery of your preferred school OR
2. They have a brother or sister who attends the school
​
​
​
The London Borough of Newham manages the admissions process for School 21 and our current published admission number is 75 per year group. School 21 is an all through school and does not have an admissions process for Year 7. The borough’s website has a range of resources and information regarding school admissions.

Fair Access
​
The law requires that each local authority must have a Fair Access Protocol (FAP), agreed with the majority of schools in its area to ensure that in Year admissions unplaced children, especially the most vulnerable, are offered a place at a suitable school as quickly as possible. In agreeing a protocol, the local authority must ensure that no school, including those with available places, is asked to take a disproportionate number of children who have been excluded from other schools, or who have challenging behaviour. School 21 has signed up to the LB Newham's Fair Access Protocol.

Admissions policy
​
We are a non-selective, state-funded school serving children of all abilities. We have a fair admissions policy in line with other Newham schools. Places will be allocated to those who live nearest to the school as well as of course providing for those with a Statement of Educational Need and those who are in the care of a Local Authority. Priority will also be given to siblings.
