Admissions

Will your child start Reception in September 2027?

Parents and carers can now apply for a September 2027 Reception place at www.york.gov.uk/schooladmissions. Applications opened on 12 September 2026.

The deadline for submitting an on-time application is 15 January 2027.

When applying online, you will receive an email confirming submission and can view your application and results online at a later date. Please remember to submit your application after completing it.

Applications can still be made after the deadline, but they may be considered after on-time applications. Applying early does not give additional priority; however, submitting by the deadline gives you the best chance of securing a place at one of your preferred schools.

Please read City of York Council’s Guide for Parents before applying, as it contains

key information about school admissions.

You can also find the Guide to School Catchment Areas online.

If you cannot apply online or require a paper copy of any document, please contact education@york.gov.uk or call 01904 551554.

If you are moving into the area or you feel your child needs to move schools for some other reason, you should contact the Local Authority’s admission team.
