If your child was born between Friday 1 September 2021 and Wednesday 31 August 2022, you must apply for a primary school place between Wednesday 1 October 2025 and Thursday 15 January 2026. Applications are made to the Local Authority where you live. Before you make an application, we recommend you read the applications guide for parents and carers, as it contains useful information about the application process.
There is a separate admissions process for children with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Details can be found on the Local Offer Website.
You can use the My School Portal to submit your application.
Before you apply, make sure -
- that you have checked which is your nearest school, and have considered home to school transport
- everyone with parental responsibility agrees with your preferences of school as we will not process an application until any dispute is resolved

Nursery school places
If you want to apply to a school or private nursery, you must apply to the nursery directly.

New to the UK
If you have moved to the UK and want to apply for a school place for your child, check that your immigration status lets you access a state funded school place. It is your responsibility as the parent or carer to check that your children have a right to study at a state funded school.
