How to apply
Applying online
If your child was born between 1 September 2015 and 31 August
2016 you can apply online for a reception place from 1 September
to 15 January. If it was agreed that you could delay entry for your
child to September 2020 and their date of birth does not fall in
the above range you will need to make a paper application.
How to apply online
Go to www.ealing.gov.uk/admissions for our ‘step by step’

www.eadmissions.org.uk to make your application.
First you will be asked to register with eadmissions, you will then
be supplied via email with a username and a password to access
your eadmissions account. Once these have been received you
will be able to log in and complete your application.

view and if necessary amend your application (up until the
closing date) and to view the outcome on 16 April.

email confirming your application details with a unique 16 digit

Completing your online or paper application
Parent/Carer details: Please enter details of the person with
parental responsibility for the child. All correspondence will be
sent to the address provided. If your address is different to the
child’s. address you will need to provide a written explanation
with the application.
Child’s details: Please complete your child’s name as it appears
on their birth certificate. Do not use shortened names or
nicknames.
The address used must be your permanent home address.
Please do not provide a business address, child-minder’s address,
relative’s address or any address other than your permanent
home address.
Providing an incorrect or false address may result in your
application being cancelled and any place offered on the basis
of the address will be withdrawn.
Shared responsibility
Where the parents have shared responsibility and the child is
residing with one parent for the majority of the time or on a
permanent basis, the address of this parent must be used for the
purposes of the application.
Where parents have shared responsibility and the child lives
with each parent for half of the calendar year, the parents
must come to an agreement as to whose address will be
used for the application. This address will be used to process
the child’s application and can only be changed after the
beginning of the academic year unless the address of the
chosen parent changes during the admissions process. Proof
of residency will be required.
In all other cases of personal or family arrangements
the address of the parent will be taken as the main
residence unless there is irrefutable evidence that the
child lives elsewhere either full-time or for most of the
year with an adult under arrangements which have
been endorsed by a court.
Preferences: You may list up to 6 different state maintained
primary schools or academies in or outside the borough of Ealing.
You should try and use all the preferences available to you. We
strongly recommend that you choose your nearest non faith
school as one of your preferences.
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 10 & 11
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.
Current school: If your child is in nursery please complete the
details even if this is independent or outside the borough of Ealing.
Address: Please check that your address is within Ealing before
completing a paper form, online applications will automatically
be submitted to the home Local Authority.
