If your child is born between 1 September 1997 and 31 August
1998, you will need to apply by 24 October 2008
for a secondary school place in September 2009.
The direct gov website is a useful tool
to find comprehensive information about schools - you can find
local schools, read Ofsted reports, get performance data and much
more.
The facility to make applications online has
now closed. Please contact the Admissions Service if you have
not made an application.
If you are not a City of London resident you should contact the
School Admissions Service of your Local Authority to get a copy of
the form and their secondary transfer brochure.

City of London Academy
Children permanently resident in the Square Mile have priority
admission places set aside to the
City of London Academy Southwark at secondary transfer age.
Places are also available at the
City of London Academy Islington and
City Academy Hackney (click on the links for more
information). The three Academies are mixed
comprehensive schools sponsored by the City of London. Academies
are publicly funded schools, but independent of the LA where they
are located. The Governors set the admission arrangements.
