Key dates

When applying for Year 7 for September 2027 please be aware of the following:
- You need to apply by the closing date to be considered as an on-time application.
- Any applications received after the closing date will be considered as ‘late’ applications; this includes any amendments to on-time applications received after this point.
- Late applications that are received up to the end of the allocation period will be considered together after all on-time applications. If we receive more applications than a school has places available, applications will be ranked using the published oversubscription criteria. We will give places to on-time applications first, and then to late applications if there are remaining places available.
- This means that an on-time application for a student living a considerable distance from a particular school may be successful, whereas a late application for a student living very close to the school may not be. It is very important that you submit your application on time to avoid disappointment.
- Any applications received after the allocation period cannot be processed until after secondary offer day. This means that if you apply after January 4 you will not receive an offer letter on secondary offer day. We will write to you later in March with the outcome of your application.
- You should inform the school admissions team if your application is submitted late as the result of a house move or if there any other relevant circumstances which led to your application being submitted after the closing date.
