Secondary School Admissions September 2021 If your child was born between 1 September 2009 and 31 August 2010, then they will be due to start secondary school in September 2021. Key dates • w/c 31 August 2020 A letter will arrive through the post inviting you to apply for a secondary school place • Sat 31 Oct 2020 Application close date • Mon 1 March 2021 An email or letter will be sent to you on Monday 1st March 2021 How do I apply? • Apply online at www.stockton.gov.uk/schooladmissions (if you do not have access to the internet at home, you can access the website at any library). Please make sure you tick to receive your allocation by email. • The letter will also contain a telephone number that you can ring to request a paper application form, if necessary. All forms (online or paper) must be received by the School Admissions team by 31 October 2020 – any forms received after this date will be classed as ‘late’ applications and we will only be able to consider them after we have considered all of the applications received before the closing date. • You must complete an application form in order to gain a secondary school place for your child – do not assume that a place will be allocated automatically. We do advise you to use your 4 preferences. Choosing a Secondary School – Hints & Tips • In light of the current COVID-19 situation, please check directly with each school to check before attending. Schools may offer ‘virtual open evenings’ if face to face visits aren’t possible. • Look at each school’s website and prospectus • Review performance tables and Ofsted reports - www.gov.uk/school-performance-tables • Think about how your child will travel to school and read the latest school transport policy - www.stockton.gov.uk/schooltransport Secondary Schools in Stockton-on-Tees
