Admissions
In the UK, applications for school places open in September and close on 15 January of every year.
You must apply for a primary school place one year before your child can start school. You will need to apply when your child is three or has just turned four. If you would like to request for your child to be educated outside of their chronological age group, this should be discussed with the headteacher after an offer has been made. Offers are made by the local authority on 15 April every year.
Our parents do not pay any fees as we are a free, state school.
Applying for a place at Whitehall Park School
For a place at our school, families must apply via the Islington Council’s online form. When there are fewer applicants than places available, all applicants will be admitted. 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.
See more information on the Islington website.
In-Year applications
As many families have moved out of borough and surrounding areas, we have some space available for in-year transfers. Do come and visit us, we can arrange school tours at a time to suit you; book a school tour here, or simply contact our office.
In-Years applications are handled by the local authorities of where you live. Below are some useful contact details:
