Secondary Transfer
If your child was born between 1 September 2014 and 31 August 2015, you need to apply for them to start secondary school in September 2026.
During the autumn term information is given and Open Evenings are held at secondary schools for Year 6 parents. You are encouraged to visit the schools before you make a decision. This is to assist you in choosing the school that is best for your child. The Headteacher and Class Teachers are available to help you with this important transition.
To apply for a secondary school place for 2026, the closing date for secondary school applications, is the 31st October 2025. Click here to go to the Brent Council website and complete an on-line application form.
