Pan London Co-ordinated Admissions System
Under the Pan-London Co-ordinated Admissions System, all parents who are resident in Ealing will list the six different schools that they want to apply for including any out of borough schools (but not private schools) on Ealing’s common application form. Preferences will need to be ranked in order of priority (this is important as only one offer will be made and this will be from the highest ranked school able to make an offer). Residents in other boroughs need to apply on their home borough’s common application form.
All the councils taking part in the Pan-London Co-ordinated Admissions System will then use a computerised system to pass on details of applications for schools in other areas and to co-ordinate the offer of places to make sure that nobody gets offered more than one school place.
Where a school is over subscribed, its published admission criteria will be used to decide the order in which applicants will be offered places. Unless specifically required to do so by the published admissions criteria of the school, councils will not pass on details of where the school was ranked, and no school will be told about other schools a parent has applied for.
Please note this system only applies to schools in the state maintained sector. If you are applying to private/ independent schools you need to contact them and apply direct to the school.
This information forms part of Ealing's 2009 admission policy.
