How to apply to secondary schools if your child lives in Hammersmith & Fulham
Each year, in September and October, parents of children in their final year of primary school (year 6) who live in Hammersmith & Fulham and would like their child to go to a state secondary school, must apply for a secondary school place through our schools admissions process.
This year's closing date for local authorities across London will be 31 October 2011. In line with other London boroughs, however we are asking parents to submit applications by 21 October 2011 to allow time for processing and checking.
The secondary schools admissions process is coordinated across all London boroughs. This means you can apply for up to six secondary schools, both in and outside Hammersmith & Fulham, in one single application. Your application can either be completed on a paper form or online.
