School Admissions

Applying for a School Place

When applying for a school place you must apply to the local authority where you live not the local authority area where the school is. Buckinghamshire Council, West Northamptonshire Council and Milton Keynes Council have online forms available during the Autumn Term.


For children starting school for the first time, it is advisable to look carefully at the information provided by the Local Authority and apply online by visiting the following websites:


http://www.buckscc.gov.uk/services/education/school-admissions for Buckinghamshire residents.


https://www.westnorthants.gov.uk/school-admissions, for Northamptonshire residents.


https://www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/schools-and-lifelong-learning/school-admissions - for Milton Keynes residents.
