Applying for School Places for children living within Southampton City Council boundaries.

• Do not apply for independent/private school on this system.

• You should not apply for a Special School on this system. If your child has a Statement for Special Education Needs or an Education Health and Care Plan, you will need to contact the Special Needs Team on 023 8083 3270.

Before you can apply for a school place, you will need to register your email address and personal details. For instructions on registering and making an application please follow this link.

You are strongly advised to read the composite prospectus which gives details of all of the school in the city.
