1. Complete School Registration Forms

1-2 hours to complete formshigh Priority

Schools need detailed information to keep your child safe and contact you quickly. Forms may look long, but they are important.

What to do: After you receive forms from the school, read each section slowly and fill in all requested details. Use the GOV.UK school admissions pages if you need to check the meaning of any terms or ask the school office for help.

What do you need: You need your child’s personal and medical details, your contact information and emergency contact details of another trusted adult.

Outcomes: The school will have complete information and can fully enrol your child and care for them properly.

Lifehack: Take a photo or copy of completed forms so you remember what you wrote and can reuse details later.
