Please note that if you are applying to a selective state school or a music place at a state school you must contact the school directly for additional application forms. These forms will have to be completed and returned to the school as directed by the school you are applying for – the deadline is usually before 31st October. Full and further useful details of open days etc. are available on the schools’ and local authorities’ websites. This list has been compiled as a guide; there are a number of schools you may consider. While every effort has been made to ensure it is accurate, parents and /or carers should make their own enquiries in advance of the applications. There are several types of state schools: Community: are schools owned and maintained by the Council. The council has overall responsibility for the community schools’ administration and the council arranges appeals for places at these schools. Foundation; funded by the council but the governing bodies of the individual schools own the buildings, are responsible for setting the admissions criteria and handling the process including arranging appeals. Voluntary Aided; funded by the council but “voluntary bodies” (usually religious) own the buildings, are responsible for setting the admissions criteria and handling the process and arranging appeals (e.g. St. Michael’s RC School, Latymer). Free: are all ability state-funded schools set up in response to what local people say they want and need in order to improve education for children in their community. Academies and free schools: are independent of the local authority and funded directly by the government. Although the governors are responsible for setting admissions criteria, academies are required to participate in co -ordinated admissions arrangements. The governing body is responsible for setting the admission criteria and for arranging appeals.

This includes five visits in each phase to focus on an aspect of good practice. The report also draws on institutional inspections, 69 subject inspections in colleges, and visits to a sample of art galleries. Part A focuses on the key inspection findings in the context of the continued popularity of the subject with pupils and students.

  • Friends Newsletter 2019 Foreword from the Headteacher, Ms Elizabeth Kitcatt
    Friends Newsletter 2019 Foreword from the Headteacher, Ms Elizabeth Kitcatt It has been a busy year here at Camden School for Girls, as always. Our new priority is to improve the grounds, and we now have green screens and wonderful whirling seats for students to enjoy! Our school performed outstandingly well in the DFE Performance tables, as I’m sure you will be aware, and it is now in the top 3% of schools nationally in terms of the progress our students make while they are with us. We continue to attract remarkable speakers to the school and in particular, to the Sixth Form assemblies, and you will find accounts of some of their presentations in this newsletter. You will see that Camden students continue to raise money for charity, make exceptional music and produce compelling artwork. We said goodbye to Geoffrey Fallows, very sadly, but found it a pleasure to re-visit his contribution and remember his cheerful leadership of the school. I hope you enjoy this sample of life here at CSG. Elizabeth Kitcatt Headteacher, Camden School for Girls August brought some outstanding exam results. GCSE results were exceptional. 91% of all results across all subjects were grades 9-4. 90% achieved grade 9-4 (standard pass) in both English and mathematics. 34 students achieved 9-7 grades in eight or more GCSE subjects. Our students worked especially hard to achieve top grades, not simply to achieve a GCSE result. 25 students celebrate We were delighted with the A level results achieved as well with our Cambridge, Oxford and out-performing students nationally by a very significant margin.

  • Times Parent Power Schools Guide 2020
    Times Parent Power Schools Guide 2020 Best Secondary Schools in London London’s grip on the very top of the Parent Power rankings for both state and independent schools has been loosened in the past 12 months. This time last year, the capital had 10 of the top 20 schools in the independent sector and nine of the top 20 state schools — figures that have declined this year to eight and five respectively. The overall number of London schools in both rankings has remained broadly the same, however, (down by just three in both the state and independent sectors) while the southeast region is dominant. The capital encompasses the best and worst of education. London primaries are hugely disproportionately represented in our primary school rankings, published last week, with 181 junior schools in the capital among the top 500. However, too many of the children from these schools go on to get lost in underachieving secondaries that are a million miles — or rather several hundred A*, A and B grades — away from the pages of Parent Power. There is cause for some optimism, however, as recent initiatives begin to bear fruit. New free schools, such as Harris Westminster Sixth Form, are helping to change the educational landscape. Harris Westminster is a partnership between Westminster School, one of the country’s most prestigious independents, and the Harris Federation, which has built up a network of 49 primary and secondary schools across the capital over the past 25 years, sponsored by Lord Harris, who built up the Carpetright empire. Harris Westminster sits fourth in our new ranking of sixth-form colleges, with 41% of students gaining at least AAB in two or more facilitating subjects — those that keep most options open at university, including, maths, English, the sciences, languages, history and geography.

    Our ref: MGLA260719-8697 Date: 22 August 2018 Dear Thank you for your request for information which the GLA received on 26 June 2019. Your request has been dealt with under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. Our response to your request is as follows: 1. Please provide the precise number and list of locations/names of primary and secondary schools in London where air pollution breaches legal limit, according to your most recent data (I believe the same metric has been used across the years, of annual mean limit of 40ug/m3 NO2, but please clarify). If you are able to provide more recent data without breaching the s12 time limit please do. If not, please provide underlying data from May 2018 (see below). Please provide as a spreadsheet with school name, pollution level, and any location information such as borough. This data is available on the London datastore. The most recent available data is from the London Atmospheric Emission Inventory (LAEI) 2016 and was published in April 2019. The data used for the 2018 report is LAEI 2013. Please find attached a list and a summary of all Educational Establishments in London and NO2 levels based on both the LAEI 2013 update and LAEI 2016. The list has been taken from the register of educational establishments in England and Wales, maintained by the Department for Education, and provides information on establishments providing compulsory, higher and further education. It was downloaded on 21/03/2019, just before the release of the LAEI 2016. The attached spreadsheet has recently been published as part of the LAEI 2016 stats on Datastore here.
