Secondary Already?

11th September 2023

Applying for a secondary school place

  1. Check you are applying to the correct council. If you are a Cambridgeshire resident you will make your application through the Cambridgeshire Admissions Team, even if you want to apply for a school outside of Cambridgeshire.
  2. Research your options, understand what a catchment school is and how it affects your application and school transport. Look at admissions data, school's inspection results and performance data.
  3. Make sure you read the 'Next Steps' document. This will explain the application process from start to finish. The document also contains a list of all the secondary schools in the Cambridgeshire area, along with their allocation criteria.
