Apply for a secondary school place

If you live in Buckinghamshire, and your child will be starting secondary school in September 2025, apply for your child's school place online.

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 only need to provide your Council Tax account 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

The address in your child’s application must be their Normal Home Address.

If this address changes (for example, if you move house), you must send us evidence.

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)

The deadline to submit your application was 31 October.

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.
