These tell you how schools decide who to offer places to if they have more applications than they can accept. Please read the admission criteria carefully, because they will give you an idea of whether or not your child is likely to be offered a place at a school of your choice. Please note that there have been changes to admission criteria for 2017 admissions. If you need any more advice you can either contact Pupil Services or the school concerned. There is a separate booklet for information about independent schools. If you need a copy please ring Pupil Services and ask for ‘Choose an Independent School’.

IMPORTANT: The Wandsworth Year 6 Test has been brought forward to September to enable parents to know their child’s results before the closing date for secondary transfer applications on 31 October. Registrations close on 9 September. See www.wandsworth.gov.uk/y6test To find out whether you need to register, please see below. The Wandsworth Year 6 Test is a general ability test of the type that has been taken by children attending Wandsworth primary schools for many years. Parents of children in a Wandsworth state primary school do not need to register and will take the test on 22 September. All applicants for a Wandsworth partially-selective or banding school (i.e. Ashcroft Technology Academy, Burntwood School, Chestnut Grove Academy, Ernest Bevin College and Graveney School) who do not attend a Wandsworth state primary school must register before 9 September to be invited to the test, which will be held on Saturday 24 September. By taking a single test (in two parts), rather than a different test for each Wandsworth secondary school, the arrangements are less demanding for children and families. In this section we answer frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the test.
