Chatsworth Infant School

In-year admissions are co-ordinated by Bexley Admissions who operate the waiting list for our school. Please contact them for details of available places.

If you have been informed by Bexley Admissions that your child has been allocated a place at Burnt Oak, you will be contacted by the school and invited to visit with your child. Parents will be given an application pack to complete and offered the opportunity to visit the school. Once all the relevant documentation has been received you will be given a date for your child to join us at Burnt Oak.

Details of how to appeal a can be found here: Bexley Admissions Booklet

Please note that because of the legal requirement to have a maximum of 30 pupils in infant classes, the power of Appeal Panels to allow appeals is very limited, therefore very few are successful. Parents are only likely to be successful with an appeal if they can show either:

a) That the admission of their child would not breach the infant class size limit.

b) That a place would have been offered if the admission arrangements had complied with admissions law or had been correctly and impartially applied.

c) That the decision not to admit their child was not one which a reasonable Admission Authority would make in the circumstances of the case.
