The application process for school places either for reception class in a primary school, or for transfer to year 7 in a secondary school for the first time, has now closed.

Making an Application After the Closing Dates

If you need to apply for primary or secondary school places after the closing dates, please either complete the application form below, or call 0300 123 5012 for guidance.  You can still apply for school places, but the application will be classed as late (unless circumstances are agreed per admission arrangements in How to Apply for School Places booklet), and considered after all those submitted on-time.

• Apply using the school place application form.

Please Note: Late applications may be disadvantaged. Please read the information provided on this website.

For further information  regarding the application process please read our "How to apply for school places" booklet.  Hard copies of this, and our Primary and Secondary School Supplements booklets, are available on request.  Please contact the authority.

Information about admission arrangements which could influence your decision, can be read online or in the information booklets. You may also need to consider objections submitted to the School Adjudicator, which could affect admission arrangements determined for 2012.

In Year Admissions from September 2011

'In Year' must be made through your home local authority (i.e the authority where you live).

Please do not complete the In Year application form if you are applying for a place for admission next September 2012 into the reception class of a primary school or for a transfer to year 7 in a secondary school. Please refer to the information above for advice about how to make your application.

To ensure your application is processed quickly, please use our electronic IN YEAR application form to apply for a school place.

If your child has a Statement of Special Educational Needs please contact our Assessment and Monitoring Team to discuss the application process. Please do not complete the In Year application form on this page.

More information about the applicatin process is available in the In Year application section.  

 Admission Appeals Application Form

Community and Voluntary Controlled School Appeals

If you have been unsuccessful with your application for a place at a community or voluntary controlled school, for which the Local Authority is the admission authority, you will need to complete the Local Authority's appeal application form.

Please complete our electronic appeal form (community and voluntary controlled schools only).  Alternatively, contact the authority on 0300 123 5012.  Parents submitting appeals will be given more detailed information on the appeals arrangements.

Academies, Free, Foundation and Voluntary (Church) Aided School Appeals

If you have been unsuccessful with your application for a place at a voluntary (church) aided, foundation or free school, or Academy or Trust School, you will need to request an appeal application form from the school. Completed appeals forms must be returned to the school and not the Local Authority. School contact details are available on this website.

Please see our school admission appeals pages for further details. For help and advice on the appeals process, please contact the Authority.
