Parents have raised concerns about the admissions policies of the ‘school formerly known as Camden Juniors’.

Our attention has been drawn to the fact that neither the Harris Junior Academy website or their official school prospectus refer to any specific criteria for admission for children of Victor Seymour Infants School.

We have checked the published admissions arrangements* for the Harris Junior Academy Carshalton, which do give priority to children from Victor Seymour Infants School.

Places will be given to children with a statement of special educational need.

If the school is oversubscribed, priority will be given to children in the following order:

1.  Looked after children

2.  Children attending Victor Seymour Infants School

3.  Children who are accepted as having an exceptional medical or social need.

4.  Children with a brother or sister already attending the school or Victor Seymour Infants School

5.  Children allocated a place on distance from the school.
