From September, parents and carers will now be able to make applications for the academic year starting September in 2025, using a new Education Self-Service system.

The new system will cover Nursery, Reception, Junior, and Year 7 school places, and will help streamline the application process, allowing parents and guardians to have a central and accessible way to easily view applications.

To be able to use this system, users will need to setup a secure account and provide relevant details such as: 

• Their details.
• The details of their children.
• The schools they wish to select. 

This change will make it easier for parents and carers to track their applications from start to finish, with future outcome notifications also provided in the system.

Applications must be received before the closing dates shown above in order to be considered. 

For applications for September 2025, pupils must be of the following age:

Councillor Diane King, Lead Member for Education, Children and Families said:

“It is great that we are making our school applications system easier to use and more accessible. I’d like to thank all involved for all of their hard work in developing and implementing this new system.”
