Admissions
You must apply for a primary school place when your child is three or has just turned four. Parents do not pay fees at our school, as we are a state primary school.
If you would like to request for your child to be educated outside of their chronological age group, this should be discussed with our Headteacher after an offer has been made by the local authority.
Applications open in autumn and close on 15 January every year.
Note: If you have siblings already enrolled at our school, you are still required to apply for a place
Applying for a place at Whitehall Park School

If there is a greater demand than places available, places will be offered using the oversubscription criteria explained in our admission policy below, in keeping with the School Admissions Code 2021.

If you need to change school mid-year, or get your child into school in case you’ve just moved to Islington, you need to apply for an in-year admission.
For in-year admissions, families must complete an in-year application form. Applications will be considered in accordance with oversubscription criteria explained in the admissions policy (above). In the event that it is not possible to offer a place, the child will be added to the waiting list and the appeals procedures described below will apply.
