You should try and use all the preferences available to you . We recommend that you apply to at least one non faith school which is nearest to your home as distance is used by many schools to decide which children are offered places .
Consider the admissions arrangements of each of the schools you are applying to and , using the information about how places were offered in the past , consider how successful your application might be . You will find the statistics on page 6 & 7 which show how places were allocated at Ealing schools last year .
The order in which you list your preferences is very important . If more than one of your chosen schools is able to offer you a place you will receive an offer for the school you have placed higher in your preference order and will be withdrawn from the lower preference schools .
