 11+ Application 2010

Brent Local Authority co-ordinate our 11+ Admissions and the School is therefore unable to supply any information as to whether your child is going to be successful in the next round of offers.

We are very grateful to everyone for their patience.

UPDATE ON JFS ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR SEPTEMBER 2011

If you wish to be considered as a priority applicant with an application for your child to transfer to JFS in September 2011, you will be required to complete a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) as well as a Certificate of Religious Practice (CRP).  Both the SIF and CRP must be sent directly to JFS once they have been completed.

One way to gain points on the CRP is by synagogue attendance over a number of weeks. This must be confirmed by an authorised signatory of a synagogue. Applicants will be required to register with a synagogue in order to have their attendances recorded. We suggest that you make contact with them as soon as possible to find out how your child's attendance will be recorded. Synagogues will be accepting registration from 8 May 2010.

In addition, and most importantly, you will be required to complete a Common Application Form (CAF) with the Local Authority, in which you live.  These forms are usually available from the Autumn Term or may be supplied by your state school.  Most Local Authorities also offer an online CAF process.  In order to be considered as an on time applicant, all forms must be completed and sent to the relevant parties by Friday 22 October 2010.

To simplify the process this year, we have reduced the number of tests prospective students will need to take. Applicants applying for 2011 entry will no longer be required to attend testing prior to the offer process.   However, once offers have been made and places have been accepted, we will invite students to attend testing as we have done in the past, in order to place students into the correct tutor groups.  The accelerated and mixed ability tutor groups as well as the gifted and talented programmes will remain unchanged and will not be affected by this process.

Our Prospective Parents Evening for 11+ Transfer for 2011 will take place on Monday 20 September and further details will follow in due course.

We look forward to receiving your application.
