Make a late application for a secondary school place

You can make a late application for a secondary school place if:

• you've missed the closing date (31 October 2023)
• you want to change the name or ranking of a school after the closing date

We process late applications after the on-time applications. You probably won’t be offered a place at one of your preferred schools if you apply late.

You can view our late application policy to find out what it means for your application if you apply late. Each school will have their own policy, too.

Make a change to your application

If you want to change the name or ranking of a school after the closing date, email us and tell us:

• your child's full name
• their date of birth
• your home address
• what changes you want to make
