Year 6 into 7 Open Evening will be held on Thursday 2nd October 2025.
The evening is a ticketed event, which will include a guided tour. The online booking system will be published on the school website and will open on Friday 26th September at 7pm. Please do not email the school to reserve tickets, as we are unable to do this.
Outside of this specified event, Ealing Fields is closed to the public and is unable to host personal tours throughout the academic year.
Please note that there is no on-site parking at the school or in the surrounding residential areas of the school site.
Ealing Fields is a state funded, co-educational secondary free school within the Twyford CofE Academies Trust.
After receiving feedback from a range of people with an interest in the new school, Trust Directors decided that the school should have an 'open' admissions policy (oversubscription criteria) as opposed to one based on faith criteria.
Ealing Fields is committed to straightforward, open, fair and transparent admissions arrangements. The school will act fully in accordance with the School Admissions Code (as revised December 2014), the School Admissions Appeals Code and admissions law as they apply to academies.
These arrangements and the admissions criteria are reviewed annually by the governing body, and should not be regarded as binding for future years.
Following the determination of the admissions arrangements for the 2026/27 academic year the Academy Trust has decided to increase the Published Admission Number (PAN) for Year 7 from 150 to 168. The PAN increase does not otherwise alter the determined admissions arrangements.
For entry into Year 7 in September 2026, the determined admissions arrangements (entrance criteria) can be found below.
