School admissions

This is a short guide to admissions to schools and what steps parents can take with their children to ensure a place at a school. In addition each school has its own prospectus which is available to you.

These pages cover primary school admissions, junior school admissions and secondary school admissions, the appeals process and include the questions most often asked by parents. If you have any other questions please get in touch with the Primary and Secondary School Admissions Teams using the contact details at the foot of the page.

For advice about pre-school or playgroups, see the childcare section of the website.
