Admission Arrangements
The school was oversubscribed prior to 2011.
On 5 October 2001 the admission arrangements were reviewed by an independent adjudicator who decided:
- The school should not name priority wards because this would discriminate in favour of children from the Borough of Epsom and Ewell, to the disadvantage of those who live in the London Borough of Sutton.
- The priority given to children of governors or staff should be removed.

Famous quotes containing the words admission and/or arrangements:
“There are eyes, to be sure, that give no more admission into the man than blueberries.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Autonomy means women defining themselves and the values by which they will live, and beginning to think of institutional arrangements which will order their environment in line with their needs.... Autonomy means moving out from a world in which one is born to marginality, to a past without meaning, and a future determined by others—into a world in which one acts and chooses, aware of a meaningful past and free to shape one’s future.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
