Before you apply

Did you know that in 2016/17 Islington was one of the best performing local authorities for progress made by children at secondary school (Progress 8 measure), outperforming 133 other local authorities in England?

You can apply for up to six schools: we recommend that you do this. Don’t just apply for one school. 

Don’t include private schools in your application.

You will find lots of useful information in our secondary schools admission booklet (PDF).
