Applying to the School

A. If your child is due to transfer to high school in September 2007

  • All applications must be made on an Admissions Preference Form. This is still the case even if the school is your catchment area school.
  • You will receive an Admissions Preference Form automatically. This must be returned by 20 October 2006. Late preference forms will be dealt with only after those returned by this date and are therefore less likely to be successful in obtaining a place than preferences returned on time.

B. All other cases

  • You should contact the Headteacher of your child’s existing school who will be able to offer advice. You must then contact the Education Department’s Admissions Team (see below)
  • Transfers between schools will normally only take place at the beginning of a school term and you should not remove your child from their current school until then.

If your child has a statement of special educational needs
Please see page 31-33 of the “Guide for Parents” (see below).
