Applying for a Reception place – September 2027

If your child was born between 1 September 2022 and 31 August 2023, they will be eligible to start school in the school year beginning September 2027.  

The County Council will consider first all those applications received by the published deadline of midnight on 15 January 2027. Notifications to parents offering a primary or infant school place will be sent by the County Council on 15 April 2027.

Applications made after the deadline will be considered after all on-time applications have been fully processed unless exceptional circumstances merit consideration alongside on-time applications.

For the normal admission round, all on-time preferences will be considered simultaneously and ranked in accordance with the admission criteria. If more than one school can offer a place, the parent’s highest stated available preference will be allocated.
