Apply for a school place

For children attending infant schools, an application needs to be made for their Year 3 place at a junior school.

Some parents with a child in Year 2 at an infant school may wish to apply for a Year 3 place in a primary school. In addition to applying for a junior school place, you will need to make an in-year application for the preferred primary school.

For main round applications, the school place offered will be for a full time place starting from 1 September 2024. Find out more about how to apply for a school place.
