Year 6 – 7 Transfer

The Common Application Form (CAF) for a Year 7 place in August 2018 must be received by the Local Authority by 31 October 2017.  However, parents are strongly encouraged to apply as early as possible so that their application can be checked and acknowledged before the final closing date.  All parents or carers who require a place in this Academy must apply by this date, even if their child has an older sibling attending the Academy.  Parents and carers of children with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) must apply via the Primary School SENCO or Special Educational Needs Department.

Parents and carers may also apply online for a Year 7 place in August 2018 at www.wandsworth.gov.uk/admissions.  All applicants should read the oversubscription criteria in the Academy prospectus, on the website and in the Wandsworth Council booklet ‘Choose a Wandsworth Secondary School'.  

Applications for the optional Aptitude Test must be received by the Academy by Friday 15 September 2017.  The form is available for download from the Academy’s website www.ashcroftacademy.org.uk/admissions, the Wandsworth website below; at the Academy Open Evening/Morning sessions and in the ‘Choose a Wandsworth Secondary School’ brochure.  Forms received after the closing date will not be considered.

The Academy will issue the results of the Aptitude Test on or by Friday 13 October 2017.  The results of the Wandsworth Year 6 Test will be provided to parents ahead of the application closing date.  The Local Authority will post the outcome of the application on 1 March 2018 or the first working day after this date.
