Ealing Council Consultation
As we are consulting on a change to the oversubscription criteria for community schools for 2027/28 it is important that we reach as many parents as possible. With this in mind please can you ensure that you send the consultation information to your parents and also publish a notice to point them to the consultation pages on the school website. I would be grateful if you can please confirm to me once this has been done. The details to send out in your parent comms / publish on your website are as follows:
Ealing council is consulting on a proposed change to the admissions arrangements for community schools for entry in September 2027 with the introduction of a staff child criterion. Under the proposed criterion, priority would be given to children of staff who:
- Have been employed at the school for a minimum of two years at the time of application
- Are employed in a post where there is a demonstrable skill shortage
This criterion would be placed below looked after and previously looked after children and siblings, but above distance only based admissions.
The consultation will be open until 22 December 2025, please read the revised community school admissions arrangements 2027/28 before completing a short survey to submit your views.
Admissions criteria
Ealing Council makes decisions for admissions to Little Ealing for pupils entering Reception to year 6, in-line with all local community primary schools. Parents who want their child to join Little Ealing should contact Ealing Council to find out about admission arrangements and waiting lists.
Ealing Council also publishes admissions criteria for all community primary schools, including Little Ealing, each year.

We currently have pupil vacancies in our school.
Reception & Nursery School Tours & Visiting Little Ealing
For those wanting to join our school from September 2025, we are pleased to welcome prospective Nursery and Reception parents to visit the school.
Choosing your child’s first school is important, and we understand that parents want to ‘get it right’. So we warmly welcome you to Little Ealing to get a feel for what our school is like.
Please do come and visit us to find out more about our Primary School and Nursery.
So that parents can get the most out of the visit, we will be touring the school in small groups. Our school is a busy learning environment and our pupils will be actively learning and utilising all learning spaces, and we have to be considerate to them and the teaching staff.
We have decided to include an evening session, allowing larger groups of parents to tour the school.

Our Nursery is led by a teacher who oversees the three key worker groups. In addition, parents can benefit from government-funded childcare for up to 30 hours a week.
When your child is rising 5 years old, you will need to apply for a Reception place. You do not automatically move from the Little Ealing Nursery to Reception - an application must be made.
Our school has three Reception classes, each with a qualified teacher, supported by early years professionals.
