We have introduced a new online application system for all school admissions. If you have used our previous system, you will need to create a new account before making an application.
Before making your application
- Read the information on in-year school applications, including when you can apply, and which schools have places available.
- Research schools, and catchment areas
- Read the school admissions frequently asked questions
- Check whether you may need to complete a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) (if applying on academic or religious grounds) and send this to the school so they have it when they receive a request for a school place from us.
How to apply
- You will make one application per child and the application will be based on your child’s home address.
- You should specify three schools, in order of preference. It is strongly recommended that you select your catchment school as one of your three preferences.
- Use all three preferences. If you only apply to one school, and there are no places available, we may allocate a school that you would not have chosen. You will also be responsible for getting your child to and from that school.
- Check that you are not including any schools that process their own in-year admissions as one of your three preferences (see frequently asked questions below).
- If you are moving, or have moved address, you will need to attach proof of address with your application, see School admissions frequently asked questions for details.
