Applications are now open for reception 2027

Primary and First school applications are now open for children due to start reception in September 2027.

Parents and carers of children born between 1 September 2022 and 31 August 2023 can now apply for a reception place for September 2027.

Choosing a school is an important decision, so we strongly encourage families to visit local schools before submitting their application. Attending open events, meeting staff and seeing children learning in the classroom can help you find the school that is the right fit for your child.

When completing your application, remember to include more than one school preference. Listing a second and third choice will not affect your chances of being offered your preferred school. However, it can help ensure that you receive an offer from one of your preferred schools if your first-choice school is oversubscribed.
