Any family wishing to apply for a place at The London Nautical School (LNS) must complete two forms, the Common Application Form (CAF) from your Local Authority and the London Nautical School SIF. 

You will need to complete a CAF (school admissions form) for the Local Authority you live in - so parents from, for example, Westminster need to complete a Westminster Admissions form. You must put London Nautical School as your first choice.

If the Local Authority does not receive your Common Application Form, this will delay your application for London Nautical School.
