ADMISSIONS established secondary schools through the co-ordinated system because there is no guarantee at this point that the new schools will open in 2017. GET ADVICE You can attend the council’s admissions fair on 5 October 2016, between 4–8pm, at Ealing Town Hall in the Liz Cantell room. Or call to book an appointment for an individual admission advice session at Perceval House, on 12, 13 and 14 October and between 10am–4pm. Councillor Binda Rai, the council’s cabinet member for children and young people, said: “Choosing which high schools to apply for can be quite daunting, especially if it is the first time that you’re going through this process. “The admissions fair and advice sessions are the ideal opportunity to ask our admissions team questions and find out why it is crucial to avoid errors such as only choosing one school; returning the forms late; or making unrealistic choices; because these errors can impact on which school your child will be offered a place at.” OPEN EVENINGS FOR PARENTS AND PUPILS SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2016 Date/time School Headteachers’ talks Thursday, 15 September 5–8.30pm Greenford High School 5pm, 6pm & 7pm Thursday, 15 September 5.30–8.30pm The Cardinal Wiseman Catholic High School 6pm & 7pm Tuesday, 20 September 6.30–8.30pm Acton High School 6.30pm & 7.30pm Tuesday, 20 September 6–8pm Alec Reed 6.15pm & 7pm Thursday, 22 September 5–8pm Drayton Manor High School 5.15pm, 6.15pm & 7.15pm Thursday, 22 September 5.30–8.30pm Twyford CE High School 5.30pm, 6.30pm & 7.30pm Tuesday, 27 September 5.30–8.30pm Dormers Wells High School 5.30pm & 6.45pm Wednesday, 28 September 5–8pm Villiers High School 6.15pm & 7.15pm Wednesday, 28 September 5.30–8.30pm The Ellen Wilkinson School for Girls 6.15pm & 7.30pm Thursday, 29 September 5.30–8.30pm Brentside High School 6pm & 7pm Thursday, 29 September 6–9pm Featherstone High School 6.15pm & 7.15 Monday, 3 October 6.30–9pm Ealing Fields High School 7pm & 8.15pm Wednesday, 5 October 5.30–8.30pm Northolt High School 6.30pm Thursday, 6 October 5.30–8pm William Perkin CE High School 5.30pm, 6.30pm & 7.30pm Wednesday, 12 October 5.30–8.30pm Elthorne Park High School 5.30pm & 6.45pm ANY QUESTIONS?
