Last September when you were being herded around numerous secondary schools trying to obtain as much information about each one, in an attempt to list your preferences, upload any supporting statements and complete that online application in addition to any supplementary forms before the 31st October deadline, March 1st 2019 seemed such a long way away.

As the first month of a New Year comes to a close, Christmas is over, winter is well and truly setting in and we just feel to semi hibernate, my mind starts racing about the beginning of a year, my future goals and a wish to ultimately be able to reside in warmer climes - just whilst it’s cold. I also start to think about my hopes and dreams for those around me and what I’d like to see them achieve. [ 915 more words ]

National Offer Day for Secondary School Admissions September 2018

As we try to thaw out and battle through the snow some of us may also be coming to terms with the results of their child’s secondary school application because today is the day that year 6 children and their parents across the UK find out what secondary school they have been given. Good luck!
If your child - or anyone you know did not get the school you wanted or one that you are happy with. First things first – BREATH! Things can change in 6 months (just look at the weather).
There are still options open to you. If you feel faced with what can seem like a minefield you may have questions running around in your head like: What do we do now? Do I have to accept the place offered? Can I apply to other schools now? Should I appeal?
We can help you with this – contact Empowerment Focused www.empowermentfocused.org or inbox us here, leave a number and we will call you. We have over 20 years experience of successfully supporting parents through this process and are trained to do so. We will offer independent advice in a relevant, down to earth way that makes you feel at ease and realise the options available to your individual case. The first conversation is totally free.

School Admissions & Appeals

Reception Entry and Secondary Transfer 2016 / 17

We offer a bespoke independent school admissions advisory service to individual parents, nurseries, pre-schools and primary schools. Our service is aimed at supporting parents through the very stressful school admission process, enabling you to make fully informed and realistic decisions on the schools that you are considering. We deliver group sessions and 1:1 support in a tailored, objective and caring manner.

Both secondary transfer and the reception entry process for 2017 will soon be upon us with applications needing to be submitted by 31st October 2016 and 15th January 2017 respectively. This can prove to be a very anxious time for parents and their children without support.

We have over 30 years' experience and are trained to advise parents and schools on the education admissions and appeals process, policies and procedures; with a track record across a number of London Boroughs, a Federation of 3 –18 Academies, serving on governing bodies and senior management teams.

If you or anyone you know needs some support with this up coming process please contact us. Tell a friend, text a friend and share.
