Late applications for upper school
Apply online for your upper school place
Late applications can be made online until 17 March 2025. After this date, you will need to submit a paper application. On 22 August 2025, the transfer round will be closed and to apply for year 9 place you will need to apply under the in-year application process.
If a place becomes available for your child at your preferred school during the late allocation your original offer will be withdrawn and reallocated to another child if necessary. It is therefore essential that you inform us in writing by 17 March 2025 for your secondary and upper preferences, if you do not want to remain on the waiting list so that your original offer is not withdrawn.
If a place can be offered to your child from the waiting list during the late allocation, then you will be notified on 23 April 2025 (late allocation offer day for secondary and upper). If a place is still not available at your preferred school(s) you will not be contacted by us on the late allocation offer day however you can call or email us from 23 April 2025 for secondary and upper applications and we will let you know your child’s position on the waiting list following the late allocation.
