Apply for a primary school place
Introduction and key dates
Apply online for starting school in reception or moving from infant to junior school for September entry. There is a separate application if you want to change school and apply during this academic year.
You can start to apply for a child's primary school place from November.
Before you apply, you'll need to:
- go to some open days of schools you're interested in (if possible)
- prepare a list of schools you'd like to apply for
- consider how your child will get to school each day
Once you've submitted your list of schools, you'll then need to provide evidence of your address.
