From 1 November 2021, if your child was born between 1 September 2017 and 31 August 2018, you must apply for their reception school place for September 2022. If your child is in the last year at an infant school, you must apply for a junior school place for September 2022. Applications received after the closing date are treated as late applications. This means there will be far less chance of your child being offered a place at the school you want. Our admissions timetable shows you when to apply, and when you can find out your offer. More information on the application process is given in our school admissions brochure. Our page of download documents and forms also includes supplemental forms for religious schools.

School admissions applications Home address We normally process applications on the basis of the child's home address at the time of application and offer. The home address is the address where the child is a permanent resident, or where the child is ordinarily resident. This is usually the address of the parent, or carer with parental responsibility. The adult with whom the child is ordinarily resident would receive Child Benefit for the child. You can find your street in our list of school catchment areas. Late applications Any application received after the closing date will be treated as a late application. We process late applications only after we have processed all the on-time applications. This means there will be far less chance of your child being offered a place at the school you want. If you have already applied online you will not be able to make another application. Contact us if you feel you need to make another application, or to send evidence that your application was late due to exceptional circumstances.
