Admissions
Islington Local Authority and the City of London are going
to be working together to provide secondary school places for
the children living in the Square Mile. As a result of this
City and Islington parents will use the same form to make
an application for their child. Across London, forms will
be obtained from and returned to the Local Authority in which the
child lives regardless of where the schools are located. For City
resident parents, a form will be sent to all known parents with
children transferring in 2009. Parents not receiving a form or
requiring further advice should contact the Admissions Service.
