Parents of children due to start school in September need to submit their forms before 15th January

Parents of children due to start infant and primary schools in September 2011 are being urged to return their applications before the deadline.

The cut-off date for both online and paper applications is Saturday 15 January. All applications received after this date will be treated as late.

The easiest and quickest way to apply is via the www.eadmissions.org.uk website. Paper application forms are also available from Hounslow and Ealing primary schools or by contacting the Council’s admissions service (NB. Contact the council where you live not where the school is situated).

This year primary school applications will be part of the pan-London admissions scheme. Under this ‘one-stop’ system, parents submit one application listing six schools in order of preference, even if some of their preferred schools are outside of the borough of residence.

Councils then co-ordinate offers of school places with other London boroughs, ensuring that no one is offered more than one place.

There will be a single, London-wide offer day on Monday 4 April 2011 when parents across the capital will be sent the outcome of their application.
