Secondary School Transition
Your guide to the school application process for secondary school:
If you live in Islington, you must apply for a school place using an Islington application form online (and only online), even if you are applying for a school place in another local authority.
If you live in Camden, you must apply for a school place using an Islington application form online (and only online), even if you are applying for a school place in another local authority.
If you do not live in Islington or Camden, you must apply using your home local authority’s online form (i.e. the council to whom you pay your council tax).
Key dates
For Year 6 pupils who will be starting secondary school in September 2025:
You can apply from 1 September 2024, and you must apply by the deadline, 31 October 2024. We recommend you apply by 21 October 2024, just in case there are any problems with getting online or logging into the site.
3 March 2025: you’ll get an offer by email in the evening
17 March 2025: this is your deadline to accept (or turn down) your school place
April 2025: you must send in any appeals for an Islington community school by this date. You can appeal even if you’ve accepted the school place offered.
You can also view the results of your application online after you have registered and applied online.

How can we help at Hugh Myddelton?
See what’s out there! Go and visit the schools and see if they fit your child and their needs.
Read through the brochure and arrange to visit as many schools as you can. Check the dates for ‘open days’ for the schools you are interested in.
Ask if you need help – we are happy to help you!
We will be holding a parent workshop for parents of Year 4 and 5 pupils, with visiting representatives from our local secondary schools, in the summer term to go through what to expect when applying for secondary school places. Dates for the workshop will be posted on Class Dojo. If you would like further support with secondary school admission please make an appointment to meet with Ms Dixon.
