SCHOOL ADMISSIONS
Note: If you do not complete both
Ealing’s common application form and
the school’s supplementary information
form then your application will not
be regarded as valid. If you require
further information please contact the
school(s) concerned.
Applying to schools outside the
borough: If you live in Ealing but
are applying for a place at a school
in another borough, it is important
that you read the primary prospectus
for that borough to ensure that you
understand the admission criteria for
the schools that you are interested
in applying to.
WHAT HAPPENS
NEXT
After the deadline
on 15 January
2019, the
applications will be
processed. Then,
on the pan-London
offer day on 16 April
2019, an offer will be
made to all applicants, as
far as practically possible.
If a school is over-subscribed,
its published admission criteria will
be used to decide the order in which
applicants are offered places.
To make sure nobody is offered more
than one school place, the pan-London
admissions
system will
co-ordinate all
of the offers made
to parents who have
applied for places at
schools in other areas.

Come along to the primary school
admissions advice sessions. They
will be made by appointment at
Perceval House between 3 and 7
December, between 10am-4pm. Book

[email protected]
or calling 020 8825 5511.

‘AS EASY AS POSSIBLE’
Councillor Yvonne Johnson, the
council’s cabinet member for schools
and children’s services, said: “Although
it is an important time for any parent or
carer, it needn’t be a terribly stressful
experience applying for a primary
school place. Visit the schools you are
considering for your child in plenty of
time and then follow the instructions
on the website at www.ealing.gov.uk/
admissions. The process is made as
easy as possible for everyone involved
but, if you need any guidance or
support, I would strongly recommend
booking an appointment at the
advice sessions at Perceval House
in December.”
