Don’t miss deadline for applying for 2027 secondary school places in Bedford Borough
Parents are being reminded that the deadline for applying for a secondary or upper school place next September is TOMORROW (October 31).
Bedford Borough Council’s online admissions system is open to all parents and carers who live within the Borough and whose children are due to transfer to secondary or upper school in September 2027.
Parents and carers who have a child in Year 6 at primary school, or year 8 at middle school, will need to transfer their child to a secondary or upper school in September 2027.
The online admission system is available online and will close for secondary and upper school applications on Saturday, October 31.
Cllr Jane Walker, Portfolio Holder for Valuing Families, Children's Services said: “Applying for a school place is both an exciting and nerve-wracking time for children and their families alike, but it’s a quick and easy process that can be done online in a matter of minutes.
“Please do ensure that you submit your applications on time, by October 31. Missing the deadline could seriously reduce the likelihood of being offered a place at one of your preferred schools.”
Once the deadline passes, any application received will be considered as late, and the chance of gaining a place at a preferred school could be greatly reduced.
