Secondary school places and admissions
Key dates for September 2027 admissions
The main application period for secondary school places starting in September 2027 closed at 11.59pm on Saturday, 31 October 2026.
If you apply after this date, we will treat your application as late. We consider late applications after all on-time applications have been considered and allocated.
We aim to offer a school place on Monday, 1 March 2027. This may not always be possible for late applications. If we cannot make an offer by then, we will do so as soon as we can.
You can still make a late application for a secondary school place.
This admission round is for children born between 1 September 2015 and 31 August 2016.
