Barnet school admissions for parents

Official source

Barnet keeps primary, secondary, in-year and appeals content inside one school-admissions section, then publishes separate 2026 guides for primary and secondary entry. The clearest Barnet-specific operational points are the 6-preference eAdmissions process, address-verification checks and the split between council-run and school-run appeals.

Secondary September 2026 round

Barnet secondary applications opened on 1 September 2025, closed on 31 October 2025, accepted late applications with a good reason until 8 December 2025, and released offers on 2 March 2026. The page also gave 16 March 2026 as the response deadline, with second-round offers in the week ending 27 March 2026 and further offers from 30 March 2026.

Primary September 2026 guide

Barnet publishes a separate Primary Admissions Guide 2026 PDF and a dedicated Reception or junior page for September 2026. The exact primary timetable lines were not extractable in this environment, so parents should use the live primary guide to confirm open, closing and offer dates before applying.

eAdmissions and preferences

Barnet says applications are made online through eAdmissions and that parents can list up to 6 preferences. Families still need to complete any school-level Supplementary Information Form by the published school deadline.

Address evidence

Barnet asks families to verify their address with a council tax number plus recent proof of address. The council also highlights separate evidence checks when details change after the application is submitted.

Appeals route depends on school type

Barnet says appeals are heard by an independent panel, generally online using Microsoft Teams. The council arranges appeals for Barnet community primary schools and Friern Barnet community secondary school; other Barnet schools run their own appeal process and must be contacted directly.

Barnet school admissions guide for parents

This guide summarises Barnet admissions pages as available on 23 May 2026 for September 2026 entry. Always re-check the live Barnet pages, especially the Primary Admissions Guide 2026 PDF, because exact primary dates were not extractable in this environment.

Executive summary

Barnet keeps admissions content inside one school-admissions section, then publishes separate guides for primary and secondary entry. The main practical points are the 6-preference eAdmissions route, address-verification checks and the fact that appeal responsibility depends on the type of school.
