Common Application System ( CAS) for Secondary Schools

CAS Form Points to Note

• Make sure appropriate schools are selected (eg. boys schools for boys and girls schools for girls) and all numbers are filled… 1 to 11
• The signing page is being filled incorrectly. The child’s name must be filled in twice and both parents must sign twice. 
• The school will acknowledge receipt of form. If you do not receive acknowledgement follow it up as something has gone wrong. 
• Every school has published an “Admission Policy” and “Admission Notice” on their website. These are very useful for parents in deciding on first choice school. 
• Admission policy explains the criteria that schools look at for right of admission.
• The admission notice explains how places were allocated in the previous year and may give a good indication of likelihood of getting a place this year. It will just give an idea… no guarantees that the application numbers will be the same. 
• CAS does not deal with special class allocation. That is dealt with by the school at the registration stage.
• 21 days for section 29 BOM review.
• If you turn down a place you will not end up on any waiting lists. 
• Accepting a place does not excuse you from other offers. 
• Waiting lists are live for a full academic year.
• Things tend to balance out with waiting lists…. The advice is to accept the place you are offered. Things may change and another place may be offered from a waiting list after this. You will not end up on any waiting list if you don’t accept the place offered. You fall out of the system.
