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.

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.
