In-year admissions co-ordinated process

The new centralised processes for in-year admissions for the school year 2010-11 has started on 1 September 2010.

From this date parents apply for a place in the current school year through Ealing LA, in stead of directly through schools.

These are significant changes and it is essential that staff in schools are aware of and implement these from that date. The in-year admissions team has held briefing sessions during the summer term 2010 for school staff to deal with these changes.
