Earlham Primary School – Letter to relevant schools
Please can you ensure that all your families are aware that the deadline for applying for a reception place for September this year is Friday 15 January 2021.
This applies to children who were born between 1 September 2016 and 31 August 2017. National offer day will be 16 April 2021.
More information here: Starting Primary School in 2021 | Haringey Council
Please can you remind parents/carers with children in your nursery (where applicable) to apply on time and also to alert families with children already on roll who have younger siblings. We have a small number of families every year who forget to make a reception application for their second or subsequent child or a Junior transfer application for their infant school child. With your help and support in publicising these deadlines and the imperative of making an on-time application we can minimise the number of families who don’t secure a school place at one of their preferred schools.
Preferences
We will let you know how many reception preferences you have received (including from those applicants resident outside Haringey) on 11 February 2021. If you would like to know how many applicants have applied online (not on paper) you can find this out now by logging on to the online admissions system (external link)
On 11 February 2021, we will also send you a list to verify sibling applications (community and voluntary controlled schools only) or send you a full list of applicants to rank in the order of your admissions criteria (academies and voluntary aided schools only). It is very important that you return these lists by no later than 25 February 2021 to ensure that we are able to meet our PAN London deadlines.
Offers
We will send you a final offer list before 16 April 2021. After offer day we will continue to send you updated lists as places are declined and new offers are made.
For any queries on any of the above, please contact Lynne Tighe, Lynne.Tighe@haringey.gov.uk (Reception) or Imogen Rush, Imogen.Rush@haringey.gov.uk (Junior).

Secondary Transfer for Entry in September 2021 – Useful Information for Families
The online application process for children starting school in September 2021 opened on 1 September 2020. The number of parents choosing to apply online is rising every year as is the number of Haringey residents who have access to the internet.
Please help us by offering IT facilities at your school and promoting online applications. A member of the admissions team will be happy to attend your Reception or Secondary Transfer meetings to talk to parents about the application process. Please contact Lynne Tighe or Marion Smylie if you haven’t already done so – we are available to attend both morning and evening meetings. Due to the current COVID-19 situation, many schools have decided to hold Zoom meetings, we are happy to present at these meetings. Haringey have also organised 6 further secondary transfer talks via Microsoft Teams with an opportunity for Q&A sessions after the presentation. Dates for these can be found on our website and the promotion leaflet has been sent to all primary schools along with Useful information to share with your year 6 parents.
Please note we will NOT be delivering printed booklets to schools this year. Parents will be able to view our digital viewbook online and asked to apply via e-admissions website (external link). The Secondary admissions viewbook also includes information on the secondary school open events which are also available on our website (external link).
Please can you remind parents/carers with children in your year 6 and any subsequent new starters to apply on time before the application deadline date.
We usually have a small number of families every year who forget to make a secondary application, any late applications will not be considered until all on time offers have been made. With your help and support in publicising these deadlines and the imperative of making an on-time application we can minimise the number of families who don’t secure a school place at one of their preferred schools.
