Applying to the correct local authority
Check you are applying to the correct council. If you are a Cambridgeshire resident you will make your application through the Cambridgeshire Admissions Team, even if you want to apply for a school outside of Cambridgeshire.
You will apply through Cambridgeshire County Council if you live in Cambridgeshire and:
- your child was born between 1 September 2011 and 31 August 2012, and you need to apply for a secondary school place for September 2023, or
- your child was born between 1 September 2009 and 31 August 2010 and you need to apply for an upper school place in another Local Authority for September 2023
You may also be planning to move into Cambridgeshire - see 'Specific circumstances' below.
