1. When can I use the online system?
The online system will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from 1 September 2008 until the closing date for applications on 24 October 2008 (secondary transfer) and 7 November 2008 (reception).
|Top2. Will my application be secure?
Yes, the system has a series of security features that will prevent others from seeing your information. You should take care to keep your registration password secret.
|Top3. Who makes the application?
The person who has parental responsibility should normally submit the application for the child’s school place.
If you need further advice about who should apply for your child’s school place please contact the school admissions team.
|Top4. What details will be requested online?
You will be asked the same questions as if you were making a paper application.
After submitting your application online you will be expected to send proof of address documentation to the school admissions team directly.
Instructions about this are given during the application procedure.
|Top5. How can I get information about schools online?
Information about schools are available from:
You should decide your preferred schools before starting the application online.
|Top6. How will I know that the changes have been logged?
As you progress through the application form each page will be saved as you move to the next one. You can complete part of your application and come back to it at any time before the closing dates to finish it off or make changes.
However you must SUBMIT your application before it is passed to the Admissions Service. If you do not SUBMIT your application it WILL NOT be considered.
If you have previously submitted your application and you then make changes you must SUBMIT again for them to be recorded.
Once you have submitted your application you will be sent an email to confirm this and listing all the application details.
|Top7. What do I need to apply online?
You need access to a computer and the Internet. The Council offers free computer access at public libraries.You must also have a working email address.
|Top8. Can I apply for the same school more than once to make sure I get it?
No. The online system will not allow you to select the same school more than once.
There is no advantage including the same school more than once, as all applications are processed equally.
If your child qualifies for more than one school, we will offer you the highest ranked school for which your child has qualified.
|Top9. Can I apply or change my application online after the closing date for applications?
No. If you are applying after the closing date you must complete a paper application form.
If you wish to change your application in any way you must request these changes in writing or via email to:
|Top10. Can I receive my offer by email or online?
All applicants will receive an offer letter in writing.
You can visit the eAdmissions website after offers have been made to find the school you have been offered.
You will get a email reminder to prompt you to visit the website to see your offer once they are available to view. Your offer will not be sent to you in an email.
Offer information is available online from:
- Primary - 17 March 2009 8am
- Secondary -3 March 2009 7am
11. Do I have to list more than one school – I only want one.
We strongly recommend you list more than one school.
There is no advantage in listing fewer schools.
If you choose to list just one (or two) and are unsuccessful, you will have no say in the school you are allocated.
You could be allocated a school some distance from your home if nearer schools have received more applications than there are places.
|Top12. Do I need to enter my postcode at all?
Yes. The postcode is very important. You must give a postcode that is recognised by the online application system or you will not be able to apply online.
|Top13. If I stop half-way through the application process, can I come back to it later?
Yes, it is possible to come back to your application to complete it or make changes.
You will need your email and password to log into the website when you return to complete or change your application.
We advise you to make your application in one go, in case you forget to complete your application at a later date.
|Top14. How do I select what type of application I am making (Reception or Secondary Transfer)?
After you have registered, you then choose the type of application you wish to make.
|Top15. I have applied online but I am worried that my application was not received by you.
You will receive an email confirmation that your application has been successfully submitted. This lists the complete application in detail and gives the application reference number.
You should also print a copy of the application after you have submitted it which gives all the details and an application reference number.
This can be presented in the unlikely situation that your application does not make it to the Council.
|Top16. I think I have made a mistake online – how can I fix it?
You can change online applications up to the closing date.
You should do this yourself by going back to the website. We cannot amend your application on your behalf or make changes over the telephone.
If you wish to change your application after the closing date you will need to email or write to the school admissions team.
Changes to your preferred schools made after the closing date will render the application late unless there are exceptional circumstances.
|Top17. Once I have completed the online form, should I send in the paper form too just to make sure?
No, if you have made an online application, do not complete a paper form. If you submit more than one application, either online or on paper, only the last application received will be considered.
