Primary School Reception Admissions

If your child was born between 1 September 2006 and 31 August 2007 and is due to start primary school reception class in September 2011 you need to apply for a primary school place by 15 January 2011.

If you live in Islington, you must apply for a school place using an Islington application form, even if you are applying for a place in another local authority outside Islington.

If you do not live in Islington, you must apply using your home local authority’s form (ie the council to whom you pay your council tax).
