Click on the link above to visit the Royal Borough of Greenwich admissions team Primary School Admissions Booklet on page 46, it explains the Boroughs admissions criteria. The admissions criteria provides the priority order against which applications are considered. If the priority needs to be decided between children under a single category, it will be given to those living closer to the school, unless otherwise stated.

You can apply for schools in any area. If you live in the Royal Borough of Greenwich you need to apply through them. If you live in another borough, you need to apply through your home authority even if you wish to apply for a place in a Royal Borough of Greenwich school.

Secondary School In Royal Greenwich Booklet

When applying for secondary schools you can apply for up to six secondary schools, listing them in order of preference. Consider each school's admissions policies and previous year's application rate to see whether your child is likely to be offered a place.

Your preference schools can be in the Royal Borough of Greenwich or in other areas, but they cant be independent (Fee Paying) schools.

You do not have to list six schools, but the more schools you do list, the better your chances of being offered a place at one of them.

How To Apply For A Secondary School

You can apply for a place in secondary school with your home authority online application. The easiest way to apply is through the eAdmissions portal - its quick, easy and secure and its the fastest way to hear the results.

Please make sure that you rank your preferences in the order you genuinely want them to be considered. Any changes you wish to make to your preferences after the closing date will only be considered once all applications including those submitted late have been processed.

If your child is due to transfer from primary to secondary school in September and you have missed the deadline, you still need to apply for a secondary school place online.
