Secondary Transfer Applications

If your child is in Year 6 from September 2023, you will need to start the process of applying for a secondary school place for September 2024.

The closing date for applications is 31 October 2023.

The eAdmissions website opened on 1 September for online applications and is the recommended way to apply: https://www.eadmissions.org.uk/.

You can also click on this link: https://www.westminster.gov.uk/children-and-families/education/school-admissions/starting-secondary-school-september-2024 to go to the Westminster council website. Please note, if you live in a different borough, you must apply directly through them but the process is the same.

In order for you to be fully informed about the applications process, and how to find out more about the schools you may be interested in applying to, a handy hints and tips leaflet is available as well as a detailed online brochure. 

Westminster has produced the the document below to understand the process.

Help submitting applications

Choosing a secondary school is a big decision for you and your child, and we are here to help you through the application process.

This year we will organise a number of ‘drop ins’ where parents can meet with a member of the senior leadership team who will help to submit applications.

The dates are:

• Tuesday 17 October – 9:00am -10:30am
• Thursday 19 October – 2pm -3:30pm

We are here to help .  Mr Coughlan, our Year 6 leader, and the Co-Headteachers are happy to assist and and advise.  Please either email or phone the Academy and someone will call you back.

 

Here is some information from St Augustine's High School.
