Deadline for on-time applications via the Local Authority's application process. (Applications submitted after this date will be treated as late applications).

Online applicants will receive an email from the Local Authority during the evening, informing them of the result of their application.
Letters are also sent out on this day, by first class post.
If your child did not qualify for a place at one or more of your higher preference schools, your letter will include information about the Waiting List process.
The Local Authority administers the Turing House Waiting List in three bands, as described in the notes section of our Admissions Policy. You will be wait-listed in more than one band, so the admissions team will give you your position in each.

This is the date by which parents must accept or decline their initial offer.
A further wave of offers is usually sent out a few weeks after this date, to applicants who remain on the Waiting List for one or more higher preference schools.
Information about Waiting List positions can be requested from the Local Authority's admissions team from Friday 28 March 2025 onwards.
Each wave of offers results in parents giving up previously accepted offers, so there is usually Waiting List movement between March and September.

This is the closing date for lodging appeals. All appeals lodged before this deadline will be considered at the same time, on a week day in May/June. When there are multiple appeals, it is usual for the first stage of the hearing to be held as a group and the second stage as an individual hearing. Decisions will be made after all the cases have been heard.
Appeals are made through the Local Authority's Appeals team. Their Appeals Guidance explains the process. You can find the Year 7 appeals statistics from previous years in our admissions data table. The cost of each appeal (c£400) is met by the school.
Appellants must submit any additional evidence by 5 working days before their appeal hearing.
Decision letters will usually be sent out within 5 school days after the appeal hearing.
Appeals lodged after 21st April will be heard on a date later than the appeals that were received before the deadline.
