Over 92% of Sutton students secure preferred primary school place

In addition, the Council has been able to offer 99.7% of children a place at one of their six preference schools.

Sutton Council works with its education service provider, Cognus Limited, to ensure every Sutton child has access to a school place.

Parents and carers who applied online will receive an email notifying them to log on to their account and check their outcome at www.eadmissions.org.uk/signin.  

Those who completed a printed application form will either receive an email or a letter notifying them of their outcome.

Parents and carers should follow the instructions given in the notification letter or email, which also provides guidance about waiting lists and appeals.

Support for the new school term

There are many resources available to parents and carers to help their children feel confident and ready for the transition to primary school. These include:

• ‘Starting Reception’ workshops at Sutton Central Library, Carshalton Family Hub & Children’s Centre, or online

• A video featuring local students demonstrating the independence and life skills learned during their first year

• Videos from SEND professionals about starting primary school

• Financial and practical aid, including free school meals and access to free school uniforms via the local uniform shop.
