The Pan-London Coordinated Admissions System

Transfer to Secondary School September 2020

The Pan-London Coordinated Admissions System: the background 1. Since September 2005, all 33 London Local Authorities and 4 local authorities that border London have co-ordinated admissions to their schools 2. The system is a voluntary extension of the requirement by the Government that all councils co- ordinate admissions to their schools within their area 3. Previously parents in London who applied to several schools, often in more than one Local Authority, may have received more than one offer, which meant that others received no offer at all 4. The Pan London system reduces multiple offers and gives one offer per parent across London at the initial stage.

Making your application: step by step 1. Find out as much as you can about the schools that you are considering: • look at the Local Authority online booklets get the school prospectus • Get the school prospectus • go to open days 2. Identify any schools that need a supplementary form 3. Consider the admission criteria for each school in order to assess the likelihood of being offered a place 4. Only once you have all of this information should you complete the application 5. You must complete the application form for the Local Authority in which you live, regardless of the location of the schools you wish to apply for or where your child currently attends school.

Making your application: step by step

6. On the application form you will be asked to provide details of your child, including their address and their current school 7. The address must be your child’s normal place of residence, and not a temporary, child-minder's, relative’s or business address 8. You must name the schools that you wish to apply for, wherever they are in the country, and these schools must be ranked in the order that you prefer them 9. If you live in Sutton you can name up to 6 schools. 11. You must submit the application form to your home Local Authority by 31 October 2019.
