No. Distance only counts when Ambler Primary School and Children's Centre has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by the local authority, Islington, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
Ambler Primary School and Children's Centre had 515 pupils at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 508. It is a mixed school.
