The following admission criteria are applied:

- Children living in the priority area who have a brother or sister at the school at the time of admission.
- Children living in the priority area who have a brother or sister at the partner junior school (or primary school) at the time of admission.

- Children from outside the priority area who have a brother or sister at the partner junior school (or primary school) at the time of admission.
