Do use all six preferences - however, you need to be wary about only choosing schools which are heavily oversubscribed. You should name your first preference school on the application, but also list preferences where your child has a realistic chance of being offered a place.

It is vital that you get the order of preferences right on your child’s primary to secondary transfer application. You may be tempted to name just one school on the online application as it is the only school you want for your child. However, there are no guarantees that your child will be offered this school. To increase the chances of your child being offered a preferred school, we strongly advise you to list up to six preferences on their application.
There are various types of secondary schools to choose from including academies, voluntary aided, foundation, and free and schools. And it is here where the oversubscription criteria vary. It is important you fully understand the oversubscription criteria and match them to your own circumstances. Some schools are heavily oversubscribed, with hundreds applying for places.

The more people who apply for a school for their children, the bigger the risk that your child might not be offered a place at that school. Armed with this knowledge, you should be better placed to put your preferences down.

If it was not possible to offer a place at any of your preferred schools, then the School Admissions Team will allocate your child an alternative secondary school. This is likely to be the nearest school to your child’s home which has a vacancy. You also have the right to appeal against the decision not to offer your child a place at a preferred school. The email containing the outcome of your child’s application will include information about how to appeal.
Only if you reject the offer and also provide details of any alternative arrangement you have made for your child’s education, will your child’s place be withdrawn and offered to the next child on the school’s waiting list.
You also need to ensure that you complete a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) for the schools that require these and submit it to the school by their individual deadline. These ask for further information, such as religious observance or regarding school specialisms. Where a school requires your child to sit an admissions banding test, it is vital that they sit the test. If you are applying to a secondary school that uses banding within its criteria, your child will be required to take a test. Please contact the school directly for further details on banding test arrangements.
4 Get into the right secondary school
If you are thinking of applying to schools that test for ability/ aptitude, you must ensure that you register your child for the ability/aptitude admission test before each school’s published deadline and you must also submit your child’s online admissions application by 31st October 2022. Failure to provide a SIF to the school by their deadline and your child sitting a banding test or an ability/aptitude test, where these are needed, may significantly reduce the chances of your child being offered a place at a school on your application.

Basmala is following in good footsteps. In 2019, another Harris Academy Bermondsey sixth former, Chantoi, received an offer from Balliol College, Oxford, to study Ancient and Modern History, while in 2020, Jona, Elizabeth and Korede all received offered from Oxbridge universities.
We are extremely proud that one of our 6th Form students will be taking up her offer of a place at Merton College, Oxford to study History.
Receiving the offer boosted her academic confidence too, she said. “Talking to the academics at Oxford gave me this renewed vigour to tackle my subject better, which has been a massive source of strength and given me a sense of direction academically and also personally,” she added.
In 2021, students at Harris Academy Bermondsey secured university places to study subjects such as veterinary nursing, law and pharmacology. In all, a hugely impressive 25% of university offers were from prestigious Russell Group universities and 2022 sees this picture improve further with 32% of university offers coming from Russell Group Universities. Students will be taking up places at universities such as UCL, LSE, King’s, Queen Mary and Durham.
