OOC application process

Hoping some OOC parents from previous years can help me!

If we are OOC, East Sussex, but pass the 11+, do we apply for a school place via the East Sussex application form or do we need to do a Kent one?

I'm confused! Thanks in advance!!

You apply for schools via the CAF form for your local authority - they exchange info with other LEAs if there are OOA schools on it

Thank you for your prompt response, was starting to get a little confused by the whole process, just got to keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow now!

You can apply online from the East Sussex website and name Kent schools in your preferences.

I believe the closing date for Sussex is 31st October, which is a few days before Kent so just be careful you don't get caught out by that.

Thanks for that, will make a note!
