HOW TO APPLY
You can apply online at
www.eadmissions.org.uk between
1 September and 31 October 2018.
If you are unable to apply online, you
can ask your current school for an
application form to fill in, and ask it for
instructions if anything is not clear.
If you choose to apply online you
must not complete a paper application
as well. If you do not live in the London
borough of Ealing you must contact
your own home authority.
The Cardinal Wiseman (Catholic) and
Twyford (Church of England) high schools
require a supplementary information
form to be completed to assess
denominational commitment and these
may be obtained either from the schools
themselves, or from the council website
at www.ealing.gov.uk/admissions
All new schools proposed to open in
2019/20 will be outside the co‑ordinated
application process. Paren ts wishing
to apply to those schools will need to
contact the school direct and apply on
the school’s application form. Parents
are strongly advised to also apply for
established secondary schools through
the co-ordinated system because
there is no guarantee at this point
that the new schools will open
in 2019.
