September no shows – Reception and Year 7 reporting reminder

Please be reminded that the deadline for the September no show return is next week. It is a statutory requirement to inform the local authority of any children who have not joined your Reception or Year 7 cohort, as expected. Please ensure your school's return is sent in by Friday 26 September 2025.

This form allows you to report multiple no shows at once, saving time compared to individual children missing education (CME) referrals. Please complete it once you’ve carried out reasonable enquiries for each pupil.

• Deadline: Friday 26 September 2025
• Nil returns: If you have no non-arrivals, please send a brief email stating this.
• Email subject line must be: September no show return – [Your school name]
• Send to: cme@ealing.gov.uk

Once we’ve reviewed your submission, we’ll confirm when you can release the places. Please ensure your Admissions and CME staff are aware of this process and are using the updated form (attached).
