Reception Classes
Children are admitted into our Reception classes in September in accordance with the Admissions Policy of the London Borough of Sutton. Our published admission numbers are 60 for Meadow Field and 120 for Wood Field. The children are placed in unstreamed, mixed classes of 30.
For the purpose of admissions, Meadow Field and Wood Field are treated as separate sites and parents may apply for places at either or both sites. Pupils cannot be transferred between Meadow Field and Wood Field. In order to qualify for sibling criteria, a child must have a sibling attending the site applied for.
Applications may be made online for Reception places where comprehensive information about the admissions and applications process is available. Mid-term application forms may be downloaded from the Sutton website.

In-Year Admissions
Bandon Hill Primary School is part of the Sutton’s Co-ordinated Admissions Scheme for In-Year Admissions. Applications for admission to Reception after 1st September and for admission into Years 1 to 6 must be made to the Local Authority in which the school is situated using their In-Year Application Form. If you wish to apply for a place at Bandon Hill Primary School, you must name the school as one of your preferences on the application form and return it to Sutton LA.
Where there are more applicants than places available, the school will maintain a waiting list according to the oversubscription criteria detailed in the school’s admission arrangements without regard to the date the application was received or when a child’s name was added to the waiting list.
Positions on the waiting lists may go down as well as up. This is because other children might be added to the waiting list who have a greater priority for a place against the school’s admission criteria; for example, when new families move into the area or when other families who had not previously named Bandon Hill Primary School as a preference, ask to go on the waiting list after the initial allocations date.
