Choice Advice Service


The School Choice Advice Service is available to all Waltham Forest residents who are applying for school for a child aged between 4-16 years.

School Choice Advisers specialise in giving parents and carer’s independent and impartial advice, support, help and provide information relating to applying for schools.

School Choice Advisers will advise parents but will not decide for them. Getting help from a Choice Adviser will not guarantee your child a place at their preferred school.

Advisers act independently from the local authority. Their aim is to help families make the best choice using all available information including their knowledge of what individual schools have to offer. They will work with families to understand their child’s educational needs and interests, providing and explaining key information in order to help them make an informed choice.

If you would like to speak to a Choice Adviser please contact Sharon Hudson either by telephone on 020 8988 6054 or by email at sharon.hudson@babcock.co.uk
