Moving on to Secondary School 2011
Closing date Friday, 22 October 2010
The application process begins in September 2010 when your child starts Year 6.
A Common Application Form (CAF) will be issued to you by the Local Authority where you live. You can only make one application either on this paper form, or online. You can list up to six secondary schools, whether the schools are in your home borough or elsewhere.
The school you put as your 1st preference should be the one you want the most. However, you should also include a school that has always covered your address on proximity, even as the last preference in case none of your more preferred schools can make you an offer.
Dates
From September 11 Moving on to Secondary School in Bromley 2012 booklet available.

You can use BOFA 11+ to help prepare for the exam:
If your daughter has a chronic medical condition, disability or a Special Educational Need which will require special arrangements to be made for her during the tests, please let the school have full details when returning the Supplementary Information Form.
If your daughter is unwell on the day of the test so that you feel the test results will be affected, you should not let her sit the test as no allowance can be made for under-performance. If your daughter is unable to attend, please inform the Headteacher in person and in writing prior to the test. Girls whose parents provide written medical evidence relevant to the date of the test will be able to sit it on a date to be arranged.
If a girl is taken ill during the test, it will be the decision of the Headteacher whether she may stop. In these circumstances, girls whose parents provide written medical evidence relevant to the date of the test will be able to complete the test on a date to be arranged.
Under-age candidates who are not successful in obtaining a place will not be able to re-sit the test the following year. Candidates may only sit the selective test once.
The test will be taken in two sessions, at 8:30 am and at 11:00 am. If you have a good reason to require a specific time for your daughter to take the test, a preference must be expressed when the Supplementary Information Form is submitted. Once you have been advised of the test time, it cannot be altered.
After places have been accepted, it is the Governors' intention to co-operate with other secondary schools in the area and with the LEA to ensure that students do not hold more than one place.
There were 717 applications in 2007 and 708 sat the test.
There were 850 applications in 2009 and 800 sat the test.
Open Day
Prospective parents and their daughters are invited to visit the school on Saturday 25th September 2010 when the Head Teacher and Staff are available for discussion and our present students will be delighted to show visitors around the school between 9.30 am and 12.30 pm.
