There are still just over three weeks left for parents to apply for secondary school places for children due to start Year 7 in September 2024. The deadline is Tuesday 31 October.

This year the County Council is running drop-in sessions at libraries for parents who require support with their applications. These are on the following dates:

Wednesday 11 October, 9.30am-3.30pm – Basingstoke Discovery Centre Festival Place, Basingstoke, RG21 7LS

Wednesday 18 October, 9.30am-3.30pm - Basingstoke Discovery Centre Festival Place, Basingstoke, RG21 7LS

Parents are being reminded to name three schools to give them the best chance of securing a place at one of their preferred schools. If you have already submitted your application but haven't listed three schools, you can still log back into the School Admissions system at any time to update your application before the deadline.

Parents yet to apply can now go online, or alternatively request paper forms by emailing admissions.team@hants.gov.uk or from any Hampshire school. 

Parents who applied online and on time will be notified of the outcome of their application on 1 March 2024, and two to three working days later by letter if they applied using a paper form.
