with new forms allowing multiple applications
Parents of children due to start in the reception class at a Wandsworth
primary school in September 2006 will be able to apply to up to four schools
using the same form.
The new arrangements will affect children born between September 1, 2001
and August 31, 2002.
Parents will be asked to list up to four schools in order of preference.
Parents will receive the offer from the highest-ranked school able
to allocate a place.
The form must be returned to the council by January 20, 2006. Offers will
be posted on the same day - March 17, 2006.
Church schools may require parents to complete their own form and provide
details of the family's church attendance. In these cases parents must
still include the school on the list they send to the council.
Children not receiving an offer from a school on their list will be placed
on the waiting list for those schools.
A booklet explaining the new arrangements will be available from schools
and nurseries in September 2005. The information will also be published
on the council's website.
Applications for nursery class places will continue to be made directly
to the school.
