Apply through the council where you live by 31 October in your child's Year 6, for a place starting the following September. You apply to your home council even if Regents Park Community College is in another council's area, and can usually list between 3 and 6 schools in order of preference. Offers are sent on 1 March, or the next working day.
No. Distance only counts when Regents Park Community College has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its governing body, 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.
Regents Park Community College had 847 pupils aged 11 to 16 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 810. It is a mixed school with no sixth form, so students move on at 16.
