 HOW TO APPLY FOR SECONDARY TRANSFER 2026

‘Co-ordinated Admissions’ is the term used for the allocation of school places through one single system, operated by the home local authority.  

This process is co-ordinated across London Boroughs and neighbouring counties  meaning you do not apply directly to a school. You must apply to Bexley or the local council in which you are resident. Co-ordinated admissions give you the opportunity to list a number of school preferences online on the Common Application Form (CAF). The aim of the process is to ensure every child receives an offer of a school place and to ensure the highest available preference is always offered in a fair and transparent way.

Bexley residents should access the online application system via the home page of www.bexley.gov.uk from 1st September 2025

Families living in other boroughs should apply via their home local authority web site

The statutory deadline for on-time applications is 11.59pm on Monday 31 October 2025.  Applications submitted after this time will be held and processed after National offer day in March – unless there are very strong reasons as to why the deadline was missed.

DO NOT MISS THE DEADLINE – you could miss out on a school which would have been offered to your child if your application is late.
