Fact or fiction – Answers to playground questions: Fiction My child has a right to a place at one of my choices Fact The schools listed on your application are preferences. We will offer your child the highest preference possible but if your child does not qualify for a place at any of your preferred schools, we will allocate a place at the nearest school that still has a vacancy. Fiction It does not matter if my application is late Fact Yes it does. Most applications submitted after 31 October will not be processed until after all those submitted on time. It is very unlikely that your child will be offered one of your preferred schools. Fiction Listing one school will give me a better chance of getting that school. Fact No. If you only list one school and your child does not qualify for a place we will offer a place at the nearest school with a vacancy. Fiction I can only apply for Enfield Schools Fact You can apply for schools in Enfield and out of borough schools by listing them on your online application Fiction Children in my road go to the school so my child will too Fact The number of children offered a place under each criterion changes every year so just because you know children living near you go to a certain school, this does not mean that your child will be offered a place. Fiction If I apply to a school in another borough, their residents will have priority over my child Fact An admissions authority cannot give priority to its own residents. Fiction I have an older child already at the school so my other child will automatically get a place Fact Everyone must apply for a school place even if there is an older child at the school. Many schools give priority to siblings, but this does not guarantee a place if there are other children who qualify under a higher criterion. Fiction Listing the same school six times will improve my chances of being offered a place. Fact No. Fiction I live nearer to the school than the last child offered under the distance criterion last year, so my child is guaranteed a place. Fact Information is published to let you know the furthest distance that has been offered in the past, but the furthest distance changes every year.
