All late applications received after 31 October 2025 (except those regarded as exceptional circumstance) will not be considered for a school place until after the initial offer of places on 2 March 2026.

However, we can accept a late application as on time when we consider there are exceptional circumstances. You will need to email the school admissions team if you submit a late application under exceptional circumstances, providing your reasons and any supporting documents so they can be considered.

Only late applications submitted between 1 November 2025 and 8 December 2025 may be considered under the exceptional circumstances category.

Late applicants will receive their child’s offer of a school place by email.
