SCHOOL ADMISSIONS
Time to apply for
primary school
If your child was born between 1 September 2011 and 31 August 2012 he or she
will be due to start primary school in September 2016.
A
pplications are being
received – and will be
accepted until the cut-off
point of 15 January 2016.
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,
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 2016. After that date
applications will be considered as
being late and parents may not be
able to be offered any of their
preferred schools.
