Complete a primary school application form

Before you apply

Decide which order you want to list your preferred schools in.

In the form you’ll need to provide:

  • your child’s details
  • your home address
  • proof of your home address
  • a list of up to 6 preferred schools

You can make changes to the online form until the application closing date. After that, you cannot make changes unless you can provide evidence that there’s been a significant change in your family circumstances.

If you submit a paper application form and want to make changes to it, email us at school-admissions@royalgreenwich.gov.uk

For some schools you also need to complete other primary school required forms, including supplementary information forms.

Proof of address

If you’re registered with us for Council Tax, you do not need to provide any other proof of address.

If you’re not registered with us for Council Tax or have recently moved, you will need to provide proof of address.

You may not be registered with us for Council Tax because you:

  • rent from or live with family or friends
  • live outside Royal Greenwich

You’ll need to provide:

  • a letter signed by the person registered for Council Tax, or
  • 2 official documents that show your name and address

Official documents include:

  • tenancy agreement from a commercial letting agency
  • proof of regular rent payments to a landlord
  • evidence of completion on the purchase of a new property
  • bank statement
  • utility bill for electricity, gas or water
  • driving licence
  • GP registration
  • benefits letter
  • official letter confirming the address of your quarters if you’re in the UK armed forces or a crown servant (Wikipedia). Crown servants need evidence that they’ll be living in Royal Greenwich
