Apply online - information for parents

Westminster City Council is working in conjunction with the 32 other London boroughs and London Connects, to enable parents to apply for school places online. If you wish to continue to apply using a paper form, you will be able to do so. However there are many benefits of applying online which include:

• a quicker process - you will be able to track the progress of your application.
• quicker feedback on the results of your application more quickly.
• Reducing the use of paper.
• the opportunity to apply from any location with Internet access 24hrs a day 7 days a week up until the closing date.

How do I apply online?

As with paper applications, you will only be able to apply for a school place online from September 2008. For secondary school places (Year 7) you can apply online from 1st September 2008 to 24th October 2008 and for primary school places (reception class) from 1st September 2008 to 2nd March 2009.
