Secondary school places and admissions
Make your application
For children due to start secondary school in September 2025, who were born between 1 September 2013 and 31 August 2014, the main secondary school application period window for on time applications is now closed.
To make a Late application, please use the online form below.
Please note: You should only use this application form if your child is currently in year 6 and starting year 7 in September 2025. For all other year groups, please use the in-year process to make your application.
Late applications are not considered until all on-time applications have been considered and allocated.
For late applications, we will aim to make an offer of a school place on the offer day. However, this is not always possible. In this situation you will be offered a place as soon as possible.
Please note: You should read the secondary school admissions guide before you start your application. This document contains important information about how we will consider your application.
Change your school preferences
If you have already made an on-time application but now need to change your school choices, you must complete the change to school preferences form. Changing your preferences will make your entire application late, which means it will only be considered after all on-time applications have been processed. We also cannot guarantee that your changes will be considered before the national offer day.
Supplementary information
Some schools require supplementary information to your main application with us. You need to check with the schools you are applying for. If the school needs supplementary information, you will need to complete an additional form and submit it directly to the school.
