The following information was taken from www.cumbria.gov.uk on 23rd Sept 09
Which children transfer to secondary school in September 2010?
Children born between 01 September 1998 and 31 August 1999 are due to transfer to secondary school in September 2010.
The closing date for applications is 23 October 2009. This closing date is very important.
What do I need to do before I apply for a secondary school place?
Before you apply for a secondary school place it is important to read the information provided by the Local Authority.
An information brochure 'Applying for a Secondary School Place in Cumbria' is available from local primary schools and your local Children's Services Office. This brochure contains an application form and important information about the application and allocation processes. It also contains advice about school transport policy and an application form. It is very important to read the information regarding school transport policy, if school transport entitlement would affect your choice of school. Other useful information is also included in the brochure.
How do I apply for a September 2010 secondary school place?
Remember that the closing date is 23 October 2009. This deadline is very important. Every parent of a child resident in Cumbria needs to make an application by this date, even if the preference is for a place at a school outside Cumbria.
You can complete the application form contained in the booklet 'Applying for a Secondary School Place in Cumbria' and return it to your child's current school. If your child is not attending a school maintained by the Local Authority, you should return it to the Admissions and Student Support Team.
What information do I need to apply online for a September 2010 secondary school place?
Before you can make your application online, you need the four digit DCSF establishment number for each of the three schools you are applying for. For Cumbrian schools, these can be found in the booklet 'Applying for a Secondary School Place in Cumbria'.
