Applying on line Address: This is where the child is resident at the time of the application. Make 3 choices even if you feel confident about getting your first choice. The school will not know whether you selected them 1 st, 2 nd, or 3 rd so it will not affect your chances of getting a place. Give a reason for each choice. If you have any problems, please ask for help. We will arrange appointments with translation in the week beginning 13 th October 2014 Computers will be a be available so that you can complete the online application.

General Advice. When you are offered a place, make sure you accept it. If you have been given a place at a school which was not your first choice, you can appeal. If you do not accept the place you have been offered, it will be given to another child so if your appeal fails your child will have no place. We do not receive copies of any of this information, so if you do need help please bring the letters into school or your password so we can check online.
