Things you need to know:

Secondary School applications

Apply online using the parent portal (you’ll need to create an account if it’s your first time);
We advise applying for up to 5 school preferences, including your catchment school where applicable;
Remember - naming one school does not increase your child’s likelihood of success. If we cannot secure your single preference, your child is likely to be allocated a school some distance away;
Check the order of preferences carefully before submitting your application;
If you make changes later, always RESUBMIT your form;
Arrange to visit on open days, check school websites, and think about how your child would get to school each day.
