Co-ordinated Admissions Scheme
Under Ealing’s Primary School Co-ordinated Admissions Scheme, all parents who want to apply for an Ealing state school or the academy (West London Academy) will list three different schools on Ealing’s common application form. Parents must complete only one Ealing common application form for each child. This can be done either by completing a paper application form or applying online. 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.
If you wish to apply for an out-borough school you will need to contact the authority concerned for details of their admission arrangements. Where a school is oversubscribed, 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, Ealing Council 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 applies only to Ealing schools in the state sector and the academy (West London Academy). If you are applying to private/independent schools you need to contact them and apply directly to the school.
This information forms part of Ealing's 2008 admission policy.
