Secondary School Applications
The application round for secondary school places will open from 12 September 2025 onward and the deadline to apply is 31 October 2025. Applications should be made online Starting secondary school | North Yorkshire Council.

Please be aware that the home to school transport eligibility criteria changed from 1st September 2024. One of the main changes is that transport is now provided to the nearest school to a home address, subject to the statutory walking distance. This will impact some children where the catchment school for admissions purposes is not the nearest school. To help parents identify the nearest schools to their home address there is a distance calculator available on the website.

The Home to School Travel Policy and a link to the distance calculator can be found on the North Yorkshire website
