You need to apply for September 2026 if your child:

• was born between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022 (for a place in Reception).

The applications process opens on 1 November 2025 and the deadline for applying for a Reception or Junior place is 4pm on 15 January 2026. If you apply by this date, you will receive your child's school offer on National Offer Day (16 April 2026).

Applications made after this date will be classified as late and not considered until the first allocation of school places has finished on 16 April 2026. Many schools are likely to have filled all their available places by then.

To make a late application please apply online.

There is an extended deadline of 1 February 2026 if your address changes before then. So if you have moved house and are submitting an application before 1 February 2024, please include relevant documentation of your move with your email (tenancy agreement or completion letter from solicitor) as we will then be able to class your application as on time.
