Application for transfer from primary to secondary school in September 2008

You should only complete the Islington paper application form if you (and your child) live in Islington. The form will be sent to your home address in early September. If you prefer to make your application online, you will be able to do so from 3 September 2007. You can use the London online system, regardless of which London borough you live in. Some neighboring counties are also part of the online system. If you are not sure, please contact your home local authority for more information. You are advised to read the booklet 'Moving On – A step in the right direction' before completing the form or going online, this gives full details of the application process and criteria used for allocating places in Islington schools/academies. If you wish to apply for a secondary school outside Islington you should do so by naming them on your application form. You should also contact the school direct, or the Local Authority to which the school belongs, in order to obtain information on their specific admission criteria and if a supplementary form needs to be completed (usually for Church schools or schools with specialist criteria only).

You are invited to list your preferred secondary schools in the order that you prefer them. You are strongly advised to name up to six schools on this form. Failure to do so will restrict the ability to offer you a school place.

Only one application form is completed regardless of where the schools are located that you want to apply for. The only exception to this are In dependant fee paying schools.

The headteacher of your child’s primary school, or the School Admissions Section at CEA@Islington Tel: 020 7527 5516, will be able to offer you further guidance and advice when completing this form.

If you have any queries about the secondary admissions process, please phone: 020 7526 5515/5516/5836 or e-mail your query to:
