Appllication Process for new intake September 2026
There is a major change to the Admission to Reception Process for September 2026, for families that live in the BCP area, that you need to be aware of. The application process for BCP residents will now open from Saturday 01 November 2025. This has changed to give parents more time to decide on the right school for their child before the applications open. The closing date is Thursday 15 January 2026.
For families resident in the BCP area, parents can apply online via the Parent Portal at
https://bcp.cloud.servelec-synergy.com/Synergy/ApplyforaSchoolPlace.aspx
from 01 November 2025 (please note this a new link as the Parent Poral has recently been updated and the previous link will no longer work).
Parents who are having difficulty applying through the BCP Portal can contact the Admissions Team on 01202-123222 / 127963 in the first instance, and BCP staff will talk them through the system. Paper application forms can also be obtained directly from the Admissions Team after 01 November 2025.
2024 - 2025
You have the right to express a preference for the school you'd prefer your child to attend.
Your local authority will let you know the outcome:

- on 13 May 2025 if you apply late (between 16 January and 7 February 2025)
