Admissions
We are delighted that you are considering a place at St Francis de Sales Catholic Infant and Junior School for your child. To apply you will need to complete a Local Authority application form and our school Supplementary Information Form. We hope that you will find all the information that you will need on this page, however should you want to discuss the process or have any further questions, please email admin@sfds.haringey.sch.uk or call the school office 0208 808 2923.
In-Year Applications
An application can be made for a place for a child at any time outside the admission round and the child will be admitted where there are available places.
An application should be made by completing the application form from the local authority in which the child lives and the school's Supplementary Information Form which should be returned directly to the school office at St Francis de Sales Infant and Junior School, Church Road, Tottenham, London N17 8AZ
Where there are places available but more applications than places, the published oversubscription criteria, as set out in the admission arrangements for 2024/2025, will be applied (please see School Admission Policies). Parents are advised to read the admission arrangements carefully before making their application.
If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list. Please see the admission arrangements for more details.
You will be advised of the outcome of your application in writing as soon as possible. Applicants must be informed of the outcome of their application within 15 school days of receipt, but the aim is to notify applicants of the outcome of their application within 10 school days of receipt.
You have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel if your application is unsuccessful.
If you have any questions in relation to in-year admissions please contact the school office via email at admin@sfds.haringey.sch.uk
