SCHOOL ADMISSIONS
Time to apply for
primary school
If your child was born between 1 September 2013 and 31 August 2014 he or she
will be due to start primary school in September 2018.
A
pplications for pupil places
are being received – and will
be accepted until the cut-off
point of 15 January 2018.
Under the London-wide primary
school admissions scheme, parents
living in the borough will submit a single
application to Ealing Council, listing their
preferences, even if they are applying for
a place at a school outside the borough.
The system helps prevent delays
because it means parents will get only
one offer of a place and everyone will
receive them on the same day.
WHAT TO DO
All parents and carers living in the
borough need to list up to six different
schools that they want to apply for,
14
around ealing October 2017
including any that are located outside
the borough (but not private schools).
Your choices have to be ranked in
order of preference, from one to six.
This is important because only one offer
can be made to you and this would be
from the highest ranked school at which
your child qualifies for a place. People
living in other boroughs need to apply
to their own local authority.
The closing date for applications
is 15 January 2018. After that date
applications will be considered as being
late and parents may not be able to be
offered any of their preferred schools.

SUPPLEMENTARY FORMS
Faith schools: If you want to apply
for a place at a faith school you will
also need to fill in the school’s own
‘supplementary information form’.
