Children who have reached the age of thirteen by 31st August normally transfer from a Middle School at the beginning of the school year in September.
During the year before transfer:
- In October parents will be invited to an “Open Evening” at Harlington to meet the Headteacher, staff and students;
- In November parents will be invited to apply for a place at an upper school; Students work on a “Writing Project” – a module of work taught by teachers at both middle and upper schools;
- In July parents and students who are transferring to Harlington will be invited to an Information Evening;
- In July pupils who are transferring to Harlington will be invited to spend two days at the school working with their new teachers and becoming familiar with the school.
The local authority will apply the following criteria (in the rank order shown) to decide the order in which places will be allocated when there are more requests from parents than the number of places available:
1) all ‘looked after’ children;
2) pupils living in the catchment area;
3) ‘very exceptional’ medical grounds;
4) siblings of students currently attending the school;
5) students attending Middle Schools within Harlington Management Group (Arnold, Parkfields and Robert Bloomfield);
6) any other children
