We look forward to showing you our wonderful school!

NB: RAAC - unfortunately, SJV does have RAAC but it is limited to the school hall. This does mean that we need to use external routes to get around, so please bear that in mind when visiting, particularly in inclement weather.

This is only for a short time - we are working hard on getting the hall back in use as soon as posible.

why st. john vianney?

We know only too well that choosing a Primary School is an important decision. It is where children learn 'what school is.' It is where they learn to socialise, adapt to routine, to meet new expectations and it is, most importantly, where they learn how school can help them be the best they can be.

We know, too, that parents have a choice, which is a wonderful thing. Here at St. John Vianney, we believe we have created a calm, nurturing and academic environment where any child can thrive; be safe, be happy, achieve. We know that you will value those attributes and we hope that you will consider this school as the springboard to your child's school life!

Whether you ask our staff, parents or (most importantly) our children, you will find a warm recommendation. As one pupil put it in our recent survey: "School is the key to life. I love my school..."

In-Year Applications

An application can be made for a place for a child at any time outside the admission round and the child will be admitted where there are available places. An application should be made to the school by completing the in-year admissions application form and returning it to the school office at St John Vianney Catholic Primary School, Stanley Road, Tottenham, London N15 3HD.

A link to the In-Year Application Pack, including the application form, can be found below:

Where there are places available but more applications than places, the published oversubscription criteria, as set out in the admission arrangements for 2023/2024, will be applied (available on the link above). Parents are advised to read the admission arrangements carefully before making their application.

If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list. Please see the admission arrangements for more details.

You will be advised of the outcome of your application in writing as soon as possible. Applicants must be informed of the outcome of their application within 15 school days of receipt, but the aim is to notify applicants of the outcome of their application within 10 school days of receipt.

You have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel if your application is unsuccessful.
