You will not be able to make any payments online or by phone on Wednesday 13 August, 9.30am to 3.30pm, while we carry out some important work on our payment system.

This means you won't be able to pay for things like parking permits, parking tickets (PCNs), council tax and rent through our website, automated payment line (020 7527 8000) or customer services number (020 7527 2000).

Islington’s secondary schools have a lot to be proud of and consistently strive to deliver positive outcomes for every pupil in our schools. Last year, 98% of Islington Year 11 leavers moved into education, employment or training with most remaining in learning. Our ambition is for local schools to continue to improve through strong leadership, rigorous standards and creative teaching.

Don’t include private schools in your application.

You can check your home to school distance to any Islington school using your local area.

You'll find lots of useful information in our secondary school admissions guide.
