For the academic year 2018/19 Chesterton Primary School will be offering an additional 15 hours to eligible working parents to increase from part-time to full-time five days per week. Non-eligible parents can pay a top-up fee of £70 per week to increase from part-time to full-time hours five days per week.

Admissions criteria

The school will consider applications for the beginning of each academic year for children who have turned 3 prior to 1st September of the academic year in following order: 

1. Looked after children and those who ceased to be looked after children because they have been adopted, or because they became subject to a residence order, child arrangements order or a special guardianship order.    
2. Children with a brother or sister currently attending the school and who will still be at the school when the child is admitted. 
3. Other children in order of straight line distance from home to school as measured by Wandsworth Council's Geographical Information System.

For children who turn three during an academic year –if places are available, pupils will be offered a part-time place in the Nursery in the term after their third birthday. We will have an additional intake in January if space is available. 

Admissions criteria

If there are more applications than places within the admissions groups above Chesterton will admit pupils in the priority order (1 to 3) as set out above.
