Secondary Transfer

The school is oversubscribed in all ability bands. The Governors and Headteacher strongly advise parents of Year 6 Primary School students to put CFGS as first choice in their list of preferences of secondary school for their daughter. All applications will be considered against the Governors’ Admission Policy at Primary/Secondary transfer stage.

The Governors and the local Authority seek to offer the following:

As an Inner London School and subject to the pan-London Admission Arrangements, the Governors of CFGS work with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Education Authority to process its admissions into Year 7 each September. In Year 7, the school takes an even balance of students in each of the ability bands.

When the school is oversubscribed in any one ability area, the Tower Hamlets admissions criteria are applied. Please refer to the Tower Hamlets Transfer to a Secondary School booklet for details. Casual admissions to all years, including the sixth form, are subject to the Governing Body’s Admissions Procedure.

New Intake Induction Day

The incoming Year 7 has an Induction day in early July prior to students starting in September. The aim of this day is to allow the students to experience the surroundings of their new school and to undertake a variety of activities connected with learning at secondary school. They work in their new form group along with a form tutor on such things as personal organisation and have taster sessions in the school’s specialisms of Performing Arts and Citizenship. New students will get to know each other and their way around the school. There may also be some assessments to undertake on that day. There is a second induction day in September.

Admission of Students with Disabilities

The admission of students into Year 7 at CFGS follows the admission procedure operated by the Local Education Authority. The LEA uses currently published criteria to allocate places to students. Click here to read about students who have disabilities (link to Access and Inclusion).
