I just got an email acknowledging our application for year 1.
This is what it says:
10 October 2008
Dear Parents,
We thank you for applying to the ESF for a place in Year One in an ESF school in August 2009. We wish to advise on the next steps in the application process.
Applications received at ESF Centre on or before the Year One deadline of 30 September 2008 will be drawn randomly by computer to determine the order in which the applications will be processed. Applications will then be sorted by category and priority within category. First offers for interviews will go to those in category one. Within each category those with a priority will be processed first.
To remind you that the priorities are:
? those with siblings in an ESF school
? those whose parents are former students of an ESF school
? those attending ESF Kindergartens (for Y1)
The individual ESF schools according to zone will inform you by letter whether your child is offered an interview in late November. Interviews will take place in the period 5 January to 6 February 2009, (excluding the holiday week 26-30 January).
Please also note, dependent on applications received there may be a need for school re-zoning to balance numbers across schools.
As we have limited spaces, those not offered an interview are placed on the waitlist according to their category and the number they are drawn.
