Year 7 (Secondary Phase)

Year 7 - 2026/27 intake

Applications

If your child lives in West Northamptonshire, from 10 September 2025, you can make an application for a:

  • Secondary school place for September 2026 if your child has their 11th birthday between 1 September 2025 and 31 August 2026 (Year 6 in a primary or junior school)

If your child is already at secondary school and wishes to move to a different school, you will need to make an in-year application instead.

If you are a parent/carer of a current Year 6 student at CCS, you will not need to submit an application to the local authority if you wish your child to remain at Caroline Chisholm School for Year 7 in 2026/27.

You should submit your application via your home local authority. Parents of children living in the West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) area should apply via: Apply for a secondary school place | West Northamptonshire Council (westnorthants.gov.uk)

Please note, the deadline for applications is midnight on 31 October 2025.  

Offers will made by your local council on 2 March 2026
