  1. Secondary Transfer Meeting 18th September 2017: 3.45.pm Miss Sam Lord – Transition Consultant Key stage 2-5

  2. How the process Starts • In September 2017 the school will offer a Choice Advice Session, in your school and you will be given information on secondary school choices /transition process and timelines. • You will be able to access the "Moving Up” Booklet with all the information you need to know on Hammersmith and Fulham Schools. This is available on the LBHF web site, under the section, “School Admissions.” This document is easily downloadable. • You can also get other “Moving Up” booklets on other borough schools from other local Authorities. They too will be in their Education section, usually under School Admissions, again downloadable to read or print out.

  3. How The Process Works • The “Moving Up” Booklet will give you all the dates of open day / evenings when you can visit the secondary schools that you are interested in. • Some schools will start in Late June and early July, however most secondary schools start their visits in September 2017. • You will need to complete the CAF (Common Application Form) of the local authority that you and the child live in. • All CAF applications will be on line from September 2017 -2018 and you will need an email address to complete the form. • You will have the option to choose up to six (6) secondary school places in order of preference.

  4. Please make sure that you choose all six (6) schools for your child. This is very important. • Faith schools will require an additional supplementary form as well. (SIF) • You will get this form either from the school in their prospectusor download the form from the school website. • The additional form will request proof of your faith and commitment to the faith by wanting to see the original documents of the following: • Parent Baptism Certificate • Child’s Baptism Certificate / Communion Certificate (CCP) • Proof of attendance at Church via reference / letter from vicar / priest • The Additional form and evidence is taken directly to the school. They will copy originals and take the additional form from you. • Please ensure you get a receipt for this form from the school when you hand it in.

  5. Additional Information. Many schools will require your child to sit a banding test. These are verbal and none verbal reasoning tests. Most Schools have 3 bands A,B and C However there are a few schools that will have 4 and 5 bands. These test are usually held in November and on a weekend. If you apply to a school that has a banding test scheme, your child MUST attend the banding test, otherwise your application for that school becomes no longer applicable. Some schools you will have to make appointments to visit, on their open days /evenings, so please ensure you check this either in the booklet or on the school website. Most schools will offer a working day visit, which is usually in the morning, and often on Wednesdays. I strongly recommend you all visit the schools’ you are considering on a working day visit. It will give you a much better idea of the school in action on a normal – working day.

  37. What parents/carers need to do Think about your options early. NOW!! If your child’s class teacher has approached you to start non verbal and verbal reasoning tests then your child has a good chance, if they meet the rest of the school’s criteria, of getting into a grammar or more selective school. Don’t wait until September to startthis practise if you are thinking about this as an option. 3. Look through the book– ‘Moving up’ available on line from end of July 2017. Also look at “Hints and Tips” booklet, Given out in school in July 2017, which will help guide you through the process. These are both on line at the LBHF website, School Admissions section. 4. Look at school websites for more information and admissions criteria / foundation place forms.

  38. What Parents / Carers Need to Do Now Consider the schools that you think you may be likely to get into.E.g. if you are not a Catholic you will never get into London Oratory/ Cardinal Vaughan, Sacred Heart etc. Be realistic about your school choiceand what willbe right for your child. Start to plan your diary to attend Open days/ evenings. Visit the school in a working day Talk to your Year 6 Teacher / Head Teacheror Miss Lord about possibilities/ your choices. Fill out your application online. If you need access to the school ICT suite please see someone in the school office to arrange this.
