Admissions - General Information
The Chandler CofE Junior School is a Voluntary Aided Own Admissions Authority (OAA) school, with a three form entry into Year 3. As an OAA school, The Chandler is responsible for applying its admission criteria, ranking the list of applicants and maintaining a waiting list.
Surrey County Council Admissions manages the application process and has a statutory duty to coordinate applications and allocations for Year 3 as part of the normal admissions new round, and also processes in-year applications for all years on the school’s behalf.
All applications for a school place should be made directly through Surrey County Council Admissions using their Centrally Managed Application form ('CMA').
