Please carefully read the guidance notes in the Finding a school place booklet available from before filling in this form. You must fill in section A and Section B should be filled in by the child s previous school in the UK. Once you have filled in all sections of the form you must sign the declaration, and return your application and the documents we ask for. If you post your application, please do so using the details at the end of this form, we advise doing this by registered post. I confirm that I am the person with parental responsibility for the child named in section A1. I have fully read and understood your admission criteria and want to apply for a place at each of the schools listed in section A5, and will list these schools in order of preference. This means that I no longer want to apply for any schools that I named on any previous forms and which I have not named on this form. The ranking of my preferred schools on this form is my current ranking, so please ignore any previous ranking order. I believe the facts I state in this application to be true and accurate. I understand that if I give false or deliberately misleading information on this form or supporting information, then this application will no longer be valid and may be a criminal offence. This could result in the withdrawal of the school place offer and/or prosecution. I am aware that if I intentionally provided false or misleading information in this application, there may be a financial loss to Havering Council due to the expense of funding a school place for my child.
