You should apply for your child to start primary or infant school in the school year your child turns four. For entry into Reception in the September 2027 school year, children will have been born between 1st September 2022 and 31st August 2023.
If your child is four, or will have their fourth birthday by the end of August 2027, it is time to think about applying for a school place for them!

Families of children in Year 6 – it is now time to start applying for a secondary school place. You can make your application for a secondary school place from 12th September in the year when your child is in Year 6. The national application deadline is 31st October.
Children transfer to secondary school at the beginning of Year 7, and applications must be made in September/October of Year 6. There are a range of activities held each autumn for prospective parents/carers to gain additional information for individual schools.
Prospective pupils can attend school engagement activities in September and October each year. Open Evenings are usually held each autumn for prospective pupils, parents and carers to attend and view schools. Each school holds their event on a different evening and below are the dates that we have been notified of; we advise that you check school websites for confirmation of the Open Evening arrangements.

Please read the Guide for Parents before applying for a school place, it contains key information on school admissions for parents/carers, and a new guide is issued each year in September. You can also find the Guide to School Catchment Areas online.
Applications can be made until 31st October. Late applications can be made after 31st October, though these may be looked at after other applications.
Applicants will be advised of their allocated school from National Offer Day in March.
If you are applying for schools outside of the City of York area or faith schools such as your local Church of England or Roman Catholic Primary or Secondary school, you may also need to provide additional information such as proof of baptism, or fill in a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) which can be found on the CYC website; if the Supplementary Information Form is not listed there please contact the school directly.
You should check with the school directly if a SIF is required, but you must always apply to your home Local Authority.
When applying to start secondary school, your application must be made to the local authority in which you live, that you currently pay your council tax to, even if your school of preference is not in that area.
You can read more about the enrichment opportunities availble to our pupils on the Extra Curricular Clubs page of our website.
