FAO all Primary Schools with Year 6 pupils

Thank you to all schools who have already submitted their Early Transfer Form (ETF) and uploaded it via the S2S website.

There are still a number of schools who have not submitted their form. If you are not aware of the process for transferring Year 6 pupil information to their Year 7 destination school then I ask that you kindly read the  attached letter – Secondary-Transfer-ETF-letter-to-Primary-schools-2018 dated 17 April 2018 which was sent to all schools in the internal post.

The deadline has now passed and so it is essential that we receive this information by no later than Friday 8 June 2018. If we do not meet this new deadline then this will create difficulties for secondary schools in making preparations to welcome your year 6 pupils.

If you are experiencing any difficulties in completing the spreadsheet then I would be grateful if you could please contact my colleague Chi Tsang (telephone 020 8489 2553) who will be able to assist you further.

We will be contacting you individually if we have not received this information by the new deadline.

Many thanks,

Carlo Kodsi, Team Leader School Admissions

Dear Colleagues,

We are currently compiling the information booklet for admission to primary and secondary schools in September 2019. I would be grateful if you could please check your school's entry from last year's booklet and confirm either way if:

1. Your details are correct or
2. If there are any changes

All schools have been sent their entry from last year in a word document via email. It would be very helpful if you could highlight any changes on the word document and return it to us by no later than Friday 11 May 2018.

Own admitting authority schools – Free Schools, Academies, Foundation and Voluntary Aided

Please be aware that your booklet entry will also include the oversubscription criteria set out in your determined admission arrangements, a copy of which you have already sent to us and currently displayed on our website.

Reminder to all own admission authority schools – Academies, free schools, voluntary-aided and foundation schools only (the LA as the admission authority for community and voluntary controlled schools undertakes this task)

The School Admissions Code (2014) stipulates that your governing body are statutorily required to meet and determine your admission arrangements by no later than 28 February 2018. There is no flexibility on this date under the provisions of the Code.

If you have not consulted because the arrangements have not changed you must still minute that the governing body have determined the admission arrangements and in all cases the LA must receive a copy of your arrangements to be posted on our website by 15 March 2018. The School Admissions Code (2014) also says you must publish a copy of your determined arrangements on your website displaying them for the whole offer year (the school year in which offers for places are made).

Please send a copy of your determined admission arrangements as soon possible to Taj Buljhoo and no later than Friday 2 March 2018. Schools who have not provided a copy of their determined arrangements will be contacted by phone in the week commencing 5 March 2018.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions about the determination process.

Primary Schools only

The application deadline is 15 January 2018 and the offer day will be Monday 16 April 2018.

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 publicizing these deadlines and the imperative of making an on-time application we can minimize 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 8 February 2018. 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 8 February 2018, 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 23 February 2018 to ensure that we are able to meet our PAN London deadlines.

Offers
We will send you a final offer list before 16 April 2018. 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@harinegy.gov.uk
