The application process for 2012 admissions has now closed (as of 31 October). Parents who have not yet applied should follow the guidance issued by Redbridge Council HERE.
Admissions Criteria
Isaac Newton Academy will be a non-selective school for local children. If the academy is oversubscribed, priority will be given to students with statements of special educational needs, where the academy is named on the statement. The remaining places will then be offered in the following order of priority:
- children who are in public care
- (from September 2013 onwards) children who have a sibling who already attends the school and who will continue to do so on the date of admission (for this purpose "sibling" means a whole, half or step-brother or sister resident at the same address)
- children who live closest to the school, by straight line distance from the main entrance of the academy to the main entrance to the child's home.
The academy will keep a waiting list which will be used to fill casual vacancies occurring if students leave during the year, or withdraw from a place that has been offered.
Appeals
Parents/carers who are not offered a place for their child are entitled to appeal to an independent committee under the provisions of the School Standards and Framework Act, 1998.
Parents/carers wishing to appeal should contact the Redbridge admissions team who will be able to advise them on the process
