Make sure the form is in before 15 January 2017. You can apply online from 1 September. 
Put the school you really want first.
If you are offered a place for a school on your list but it is not your first choice, take it.
You will automatically be placed on the waiting lists for schools ABOVE the one offered.
Don’t panic - there is always a lot of movement!
Whether Camden or Barnet, admissions for SLS are always distance from school (after looked after and siblings).
