Year 6 – 7 Main Round Admission September 2021
We recognise that moving to secondary school for your child is a daunting and often complicated task which is exacerbated by the current Covid 19 crisis. Our programme aims to provide as much information as possible. Also, we recommend that you check the website for additional information in the next few months.
For many of you who know the school, EWS will be your first choice. For those of you who are going through the transition process for the first time, please be assured that we are an outstanding school with very experienced pastoral team. We are excited to meet your child and make this a happy experience for them. We are always ready to discuss the admission process as well as EWS itself, should you wish to know more.

Appeals
Every year we have a number of families who chose to make an appeal for a school place at EWS. This is a formal process with an independent panel. The London Borough of Ealing does not organise the administration of our appeals process, so you will not see EWS listed on the appeals section of the borough website. Click here to see how to appeal.
How to Appeal
Parents wishing to appeal should write a letter FAO the Head Teacher: Ms Kruger stating the name and date of birth of their child and their grounds for appeal. Parents may wish to include supporting evidence should they have any.
If you wish to have information about time frames for appeals or should you be considering an appeal and you wish to discuss this with a member of EWS staff please ring the school and ask to speak to Ms Conran or email admissions@ellenwilkinson.ealing.sch.uk FAO Ms Conran.
Parents have the right to initiate an appeal at any point in time, in their child's journey from Year 6 to Year 11.
