London Borough of Sutton People Directorate Your Ref: Call Centre: 020 8770 5000 My Ref: E-Mail: [email protected] Please reply to: Date : May 2017 People Directorate School Admissions Civic Offices St Nicholas Way Sutton SM1 1EA Dear Parent www.sutton.gov.uk Transfer to Secondary School 2018 I am writing to give you some advance notice of the open evening and test dates for schools in the London Borough of Sutton. Each Sutton school holds an open evening and the dates and times are shown on the attached sheet. This will be an opportunity to take your child to the school, to see what facilities they have, and to ask questions regarding their curriculum and other activities. Please note that some of these events are taking place in the summer term and schools may not offer additional opportunities to visit in the autumn term. Some schools will require your child to sit a test or be assessed for all or some of their places. These tests or assessments take place in the autumn term and results are issued before the closing date for applications so that you know if your child is eligible for consideration and the school can be named on your application. Following registration, invitations to test or assessments will be issued by the schools. Registration is normally done through the school website or a supplementary form available directly from the school. Other schools may also have supplementary forms, and the deadlines for these are also shown. Further details will be available from the school and will be included in Sutton’s online booklet which will be available by the summer holidays. Paper copies will not be available until the beginning of the Autumn term 2017. I hope that you find this information helpful.
