Deciding which secondary school you would prefer your child to attend is a very important decision and the system can be confusing. It is good practice to start considering which secondary school you would like for your child during Year 5 as you will need to have chosen and apply for a place in a secondary school by October of Year 6.
The Choice Adviser can offer parents information and advice to ensure they have a full understanding of the admissions process and transfer to secondary school including:
- How the admissions process works
- Information about schools
- Admission policies and criteria for different schools
- Travel issues
- What happens if parents don’t get their preferred choice (appeals)
The Choice Adviser, Denise Tovey, will hold meetings at primary schools during the summer term.
