Waiting lists for Year 7 entry in 2023

We do not have a Year 7 entry point as we are an all-through school and our primary children automatically move into Year 7. If you are applying for your child to join the next Year 7 cohort you will need to apply via Hounslow Council. Waiting lists for the next September Year 7 entry open in the preceding July.

If there are any vacancies in Reach Academy for Year 7 2023 entry we will be applying our oversubscription criteria to this list within the summer term.

Pupil Premium & Early Years Premium Admissions Criteria

In order to ensure a diverse intake that reflects the balance of our community, we allocate a proportion of places to pupils eligible for the pupil premium at the closing date of applications in Secondary and Primary respectively. The proportion, 27% or 16 out of our 60 places, reflects the proportions in the local community.

If we receive applications that meet these criteria from more than 27% of places available, then places will be allocated in line with the over-subscription criteria set out in our admissions policy.

To be eligible parents must be receiving either one of the following:

Income Support;
Income-based Job Seeker’s Allowance;
Employment & Support Allowance (must be Income Related and not Contribution Based);
Child Tax Credit with no Working Tax Credit and where household income is less than £16,190; or
For their child to be in receipt of the Pupil Premium at the time of application.

Please complete the form below if you wish your child’s application to be considered under this criteria. Forms may also be collected from the school office.

Completing this form on its own does not constitute an application to Reach Academy Feltham. All parents wishing to apply must complete the Common Application Form (CAF).
