How to apply for your child's junior school place

If you are required to apply you will receive an application pack from your child's infant school in September of year 2.

All infant schools are linked to a junior school. Parents of children at the infant school have a guaranteed place at the linked junior school if they wish to accept it. If you want to take up the place at the linked junior school you must still complete the application form and name the school as a preference. Please note that a place is only guaranteed at the linked junior school if your application is received by the closing date.
