Waiting lists for the school are held by the Local Authority in criteria order (regardless of when the application is received).

Consultation on Determined Admission Arrangements 2023-24

Every school is required by law to set their admission arrangements (policy) which govern how places are offered to applicants. Within the policies are criteria that the schools use in determining the order of priority for allocating places. If a school decides they are changing the way they offer places, they are required to undertake consultation a year before the change becomes effective. Also, schools are required to undertake consultation every 7-year period even where no changes are required.

We are consulting on our arrangements for admissions in the 2023-24 academic year as a result of adopting the Bourne Education Trust Admission Arrangements, the Trust which now governs Teddington School.

The consultation period will run from 9 December 2021 - 20 January 2022.  To view the proposed policy and consultation letter, please click the below boxes:
