Apply for nursery, reception or secondary school
This is where you make an application for the normal year of entry into a school and is known as the normal admissions round.
It is vital that you submit your application by the deadline – if you submit your application late it is less likely that your child will be able to gain a place at the school of your choice.
Read the school admissions policy 2020/21 (pdf) before making an application so that you understand the terms and conditions under which you are making your application.
