School Admissions

Cognus’ School Admissions team’s core work is to process and co-ordinate applications and outcomes for Sutton residents in Reception, Junior and Secondary transfer processes, and to co-ordinate in-year applications to Sutton schools.

For schools, we provide:
  • Advice on admissions in relation to the School Admissions Code, the Admissions Appeals Code
  • A borough-wide admissions scheme to detail and timetable how applications for Sutton schools will be administered
  • A live link to admission applications in the Synergy Admissions Database through the School Access Module
  • Management of admission arrangements for community schools
  • Advice for schools converting to academy or foundation status
Support for parents/carers:
  • An online application portal for entry to Reception, Junior school and transfer to secondary school
  • Detailed online guidance for making applications
  • Support for those out of school seeking a local school place
  • Support and guidance for families seeking a change of school
  • An online home to school distance checker
  • An online vacancy checker
  • An appeals process for community schools
  • An experienced team on hand to provide guidance and support on all aspects of admissions
