Secondary Admissions
If your child was born between 1 September 2014 and 31 August 2015, you must apply for a secondary school place for September 2026.
| Date | What happens |
|---|---|
| Monday 1 September 2025 | Application period opens at 9am |
| Friday 31 October 2025 | Application period closes for on-time applications |
| Monday 2 March 2026 | Notification of offers are available from 12:30am |
Applications received after the closing date are treated as late applications. This means there will be far less chance of your child being offered a place at the school you want.
Thurrock's admissions timetable shows you when to apply, and when you can find out your offer. More information on the application process is given in the school admissions brochure. Thurrock's page of download documents and forms also includes supplemental forms for religious schools.
You should complete your application in good time to have the best chance of getting a place at a school you would like your child to attend.
