If you are a Lambeth resident, please click here for Lambeth’s online Secondary Transfer Common Application process.
The formal offer of a place will come from the Local Authority who will write to parents/carers on National Offer Day in March 2021 allocating a single secondary school to their child.
City Heights Academy uses the over subscription criteria in our Admission Arrangements to rank unsuccessful applicants in a waiting list so that further places may be offered by the Local Authority on our behalf if they become available. The waiting list will close on the final day of the academic year.
Unsuccessful applicants will also be advised in March 2021 by Lambeth Council.
