Secondary School Admissions

If your child was born between 1 September 2000 and 31 August 2001 and is due to start secondary school in September 2012 you need to apply for a secondary school place by 31 October 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).
