If your child is in Year 6, you can now apply for their Secondary school place. This year's application window runs from 1 September 2024 until 11.59pm on 31 October 2024.

If your child has an older brother or sister at your chosen school, you must still apply. If your child currently attends an all-through school, and you would like your child to stay on at the school, please let the school know.

If you live in Waltham Forest, you must apply through us even if you want to apply for schools which are outside the area. If you live outside Waltham Forest, you must apply through your home local authority.
