Welcome to details about applying for reception places in Bromley’s infant or primary schools and how to apply for transfer to secondary school, and for admissions to school after Year 7.
The Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) has published a new guide for parents on school admissions and appeals. The guide outlines the school admissions and appeals processes: what parents can expect from the admissions system, how to object to unlawful arrangements, and how to find further information and support.
Applications for Bromley maintained infant and primary schools are managed centrally by the Bromley School Admissions Team.
- Children born between 1 September 2005 and 28 February 2006 are due to start in Bromley schools' reception classes in September 2010.
- Children born between 1 March 2006 and 31 August 2006 are due to start in Bromley schools' reception classes in January 2011.
The application deadline was 11 January 2010.
Offers of reception places at primary and infant schools in Bromley will be posted to parents on 18 March 2010.
The Bromley Admissions Team manages the co-ordinated admissions system for Bromley residents and schools. Applications are centralised and can only be made on a personalised common application form (CAF) or online (if the CAF has already been issued by Bromley Admissions).
The closing date for receipt of applications for secondary school places for Bromley resident pupils with their 11th birthday between 1 September 2009 and 31 August 2010 was Friday 23 October 2009.
Offers of places at secondary schools will be posted by first class post to parents/carers on 1 March 2010.
Admission to Secondary School after the start of Year 7
If you have a child of secondary school age and have just moved into the London Borough of Bromley (paying Council Tax to Bromley) you should contact the Admissions Team as soon as possible.
You will be given information about how to contact appropriate schools and, if the schools are full, how to appeal for a place.
To protect the interests of children who are out of school and have been unable to access a school place within a reasonable time, the Local Authority will use the Fair Access Protocol to ensure that they resume their education as soon as possible.
