Welcome

Dear Parents and Carers We have put together this Moving on up information, along with our Hints and tips booklet to help make it as easy as possible for you to find the school that is the right fit for your family. Having been brought up in the borough – going to school here and later spending seven years working in a school – I know we have some of the most dedicated, caring and inspirational teachers and school staff in the country. In striving to attain impressive standards, while also supporting the well-being and development of pupils, they exemplify everything that is great about education. We have a broad range of schools, offering a comprehensive range of opportunities and our secondary school pupils make above national average progress. Competition for places is high, but I’m confident that there is a local secondary in Hammersmith & Fulham that can inspire your child to achieve their best while enjoying a vibrant school community. My strong advice is that you visit as many schools as you can, as every secondary school has something different to offer Councillor Culhane today, your family. Open evenings and mornings give you a valuable and at primary school opportunity to get a feel for the school and meet the headteacher, staff and current students. Dates and times of the open evenings and mornings for each school are in this brochure and online. I really hope you find the information about the borough’s schools, and the advice on how to apply, helpful and wish you all the best in making your decision.

All 33 London boroughs, together with admission in September 2021. The higher the number councils bordering the capital, use a Pan London system of applications, the harder it will be to gain a place, to co-ordinate admissions to their secondary schools. so looking at each school’s criteria becomes even more important. You need to be aware the outcome can This co-ordinated admissions system is fairer and means be different each year, depending on the number of more parents are offered one of their preferred schools applications submitted and the type of cohort that at an earlier stage and fewer parents receive no initial applies (e.g. the number of siblings).

They will also co-ordinate the offer of places to make sure no child is offered more than one school place. The decision on whether a place can be offered will continue to be made by the Admission Authority for each school. When a school receives more applications than places available (also referred to as oversubscribed), its published admissions criteria will be used to decide the order in which applicants will be offered places. Schools will not be informed of where they are listed on the application form or other schools that have been applied for. Where a child is eligible to be offered a place at more than one school, the local authority will hold the offer for the highest preference on the parents’ form and release all other lower preference offers. These places can then be offered to other applicants. Potential offers are exchanged between local authorities until they are in a position to make the single best offer to parents using all available places. All offers will be made on the same day: 1 March 2022.
