Apply for a secondary school place

Submit your school application

If you live in Buckinghamshire, apply for your child's school place on our website for entry in September 2023.

What you'll need

To apply, you must submit evidence to verify the address used in your child’s application. In most cases, if you are the Council Tax payer, you will just need to provide your council tax reference number.

If you are not the Council Tax payer for the property you live in with your child, then you must send us an electricity bill less than 3 months old, showing energy usage at your address. This can be either:

a scan of a paper bill, or
a digital copy downloaded from your electricity supplier

In your application, you must tell us your child’s normal home address. We'll use this information to help us decide which admission rule is right for your child.

If your child lives between two addresses, the address in the application must be where your child spends most of their time during the school week. Find out more about shared or joint residence.

If you move house before, contact us to update the address in your child’s application. You'll need to send us evidence of your house move.

Additional information

If relevant to your application, you may also need to provide:

your Supplementary Information Form (send this to your preferred school)
evidence if your child is adopted, fostered or in local authority care
evidence if you're applying under the exceptional medical or social needs rule
evidence your child is entitled to free school meals or pupil premium funding (send this to your preferred school directly if they have this rule)

Apply online

The deadline to submit your application was 31 October 2022.

Late applications

If you've not applied for a secondary school place by 31 October, you must submit a late application.

Late applications can affect your chances of getting into your preferred school as places may already be taken.
