Each London borough is responsible for coordinating the allocation of reception places each year. There are 32 London boroughs, plus the City of London Corporation.
You apply for a primary school place by using your borough’s application form. You apply through your own borough even if you’re applying for schools in a neighbouring one. All the London boroughs (plus Surrey County Council) use the Pan London eAdmissions system.
eAdmissions is an online system which opens in September each year for the following year’s admission. You’ll apply using the online form and will be notified of the outcome by email on national offer day.
