In-Year applications can be made at any time throughout the year, but it should be noted that this will generally result in being placed on the waiting list as vacancies rarely arise. When a vacancy does arise, the applicant who best meets the Governing Body’s admissions criteria will be offered the place, regardless of how long she or he has been on the waiting list. Please fill in the form and send to admission@saintcecilias.london or send a paper copy to the Admissions Manager at the school address.
