In-year school admissions

Local authorities co-ordinate applications from their residents for places at all maintained primary and secondary schools and academies, including schools outside the home authority.

This means that you will complete one Common Application Form (CAF) provided by the council in which you live:

• if you live in Barnet you should complete the in-year admissions CAF
• if you live outside Barnet, you must obtain an application form from the council where you live, even if you intend to apply for Barnet schools.

This form should be used to apply for a place at all schools (community schools, voluntary-aided schools, foundation schools and academies), except private or independent schools. Voluntary aided (faith) schools, and some foundation schools and academies, will also ask you to complete a Supplementary Information Form (SIF). Please contact the school directly for further advice.
