Key Dates

Common Application Form: 31st October 2018 

This must be completed and returned to your LEA (Local Education Authority). We'll then be notifed of your application and invite prospective year 6 students for our banding test day.

Supplementary Information Form: 31st October 2018

Please complete this form ONLY if you would like your child to be considered for any concessions during the Year 6 banding test. Concessions relate to issues that you feel would need to be taken into consideration when he/she takes the year 6 banding test. (e.g. epilepsy, hearing problems, sight conditions, problems with reading or writing, including dyslexia, mobility etc)? 

Please return your completed Supplementary Information Form directly to Harris Academy Beckenham.

The SEN Coordinator will then make the decision as to the appropriate concession required (e.g. wheelchair access, scribes, larger print etc)

NB: completion of a Supplementary Information Form DOES NOT constitute an application to the Academy and is only used for the purpose of the year 6 banding test. You MUST complete the Local Education Authority Common Application Form as well. 

Year 6 Banding Test Date: Friday 14th December 2018

We use Banding tests to ensure we're admitting pupils with a wide range of academic abilities.

Everyone who applied for Harris Academy Beckenham will be sent an official invitation letter nearer the time.
