How to apply
If you live in Tameside
From 1st September 2024 you can apply for your child’s place at high school. This is done by completing a

Deadline - 31st October
You must submit your high school application before 31st October 2024.
This is done by completing a form at www.tameside.gov.uk/admissions.
You’ll be asked for yours and your child’s details, your school preferences, reasons for applying and details of any siblings who attend the same school. You can choose up to six schools. Number one is your preferred choice; the other options will be considered in order of preference if your child is not allocated to their first choice.
There are clear, simple prompts to guide you through making your application and you can make changes to your application before the closing date.
If your child has special education needs (SEN) the council will work in partnership with parents, schools and support services to name a school in the child’s EHCP. Options for high school will be discussed at your child’s Year 5 Annual Review.
