They start September 2026 and need to start apply for schools from September this year as it closes 15th January 2026
Depends on your council/area for applications, they start September 2026 but our application window is November 2025-January 2026 and then we find out if we got the place of choice in April 2026 x
Does anyone know when you start viewing schools? With a mind to apply from September this year for starting Sep 26
@Robyn you can look round whenever you like, just contact the school you want to go and see🥰 x
What if you move to an area after the closing date? How would you apply for the school?
@Mel you can apply before you move to the school you would like in your new area x
@Sophie thanks, i thought there would be a kind of open day season when they all have events
@Robyn aw no, any time🥰
Open days usually start around October November time. I’m a primary teacher x
@Robyn schools do open days correct usually around October November x
@Carla ah they must be different in your area, we can just make an appointment to go any time x
They will start September 2026
