SCHOOL ADMISSIONS
Time to apply for
primary school
If your child was born between 1 September 2014 and 31 August 2015 he or she
will be due to start primary school in September 2019 – and applications for pupil
places are being received.
U
nder 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.
Applications will be accepted until
the cut-off point of 15 January 2019.
WHAT TO DO
All parents and carers living in the
borough need to list up to six different
24
around ealing October 2018
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 2019. After that date
applications will be considered as being
late and parents may not be able to be
offered any of their preferred schools.

SUPPLEMENTARY FORMS
Faith schools: If you want to apply
for a place at a faith school you will
also need to fill in the school’s own
‘supplementary information form’.
The supplementary information
forms are available from the schools
concerned or on the council’s website
at www.ealing.gov.uk/admissions and
will be used to assess denominational
commitment. The supplementary form
must be returned to the school before
the closing date.
