Applying for a Year 7 place in a normal September admission round

Applications are to be made through eadmissions.org.uk or the LBWF Common Application Form from 1st September until 31st October. If your child has an older sibling on roll at the school, you still must apply.
Please note, in addition to submitting an application form to the Local Authority, you must also complete a Supplementary Information Form and send it directly to the school.
