Apply for your child’s school place for September 2022
Thursday, 16 September 2021
Applications are now open for children who are due to start school, or transfer to middle, secondary or upper school in September 2022.
Children born between 1 September 2017 and 31 August 2018 are due to start school in September 2022. Parents applying for their children to start either a lower or primary school must apply before 15 January 2022, even if their child already attends a nursery or pre-school on the school site.

Parents applying for a place for their child at a middle school must also apply before 15 January 2022, even if the child already attends a feeder school and lives in the catchment area.
The deadline for applications for young people transferring to a secondary or upper school in 2022 is 31 October 2021.
Last year, we offered first preferences to:
- 94% of applications to primary school
- 95% of applications to middle school
- 96% of applications to secondary school
- 94% of applications to upper school
Councillor Sue Clark, our Executive Member for Families, Education and Children, said:
Parents can apply for a school place now, and the easiest way to do that is by applying online. Our website also contains lots of information about the application process, which will help parents and carers make an informed decision about their child’s education.
