Transfer between secondary schools for the 2026–2027 academic year
During the week of 18 to 24 May, you had the opportunity to apply for a higher year group (transfer between secondary schools) for the 2026–2027 academic year. We are currently processing these applications.
When will I find out which school I have been allocated to?
From 4.00 pm on Monday 1 June, you will be able to see which secondary school you have been allocated to via the parent portal in LDOS (this does not yet mean you have been definitively admitted; you will be notified of this by 1 July 2026 at the latest). You will receive a confirmation email from the school to which you have been allocated.
Additional information required
To complete your application, we need some additional information. We therefore ask you and your parent(s)/guardian(s) to fill in our school’s own application form. You must also submit your choice of profile. In the confirmation email dated 1 June, you will find a link to the school’s digital registration form and details of where to find the profile choice form. Please ensure that the school’s registration form and your profile choice are sent to us digitally by Friday 5 June 2026 at the latest.
If, following the allocation, you and your parents or carers decide to attend a different school outside the region, you must contact the allocated school yourselves.
When will I be told which school I have been definitively admitted to?
We will send you the final admission decision within 6 weeks (no later than 1 July 2026). This decision will state whether you can be placed at our school. We base this on the number of places we have available for pupils entering a higher year group. The following applies:
- pupils moving house are always placed first.
- we can only accept pupils who fit within our school’s educational provision and support profile.
Important information following final placement
Following final placement, you will receive a letter containing information about the coming school year.
