Education Self-Service: School admissions

Secondary school places

The closing date for secondary school place applications for children born between 1 September 2013 and 31 August 2014 was 4 November 2024. You can still apply for a secondary school place, but applications must be made through a separate online form (not an Education Self-Service account).

Apply for a secondary school place after the closing date.

Changing an application after it has been submitted

After submitting a school admissions application, if you’d like to make a change there will be a short period where you can unsubmit your application through account management.

If the option to unsubmit an application is not displayed, you will need to complete an online form to let us know about a change.

Find out how to make a change to an admissions application if the option to unsubmit an application is not displayed.

Transferring schools

You do not need an Education Self-Service account if you would like to apply for your child to transfer from one school to another.
