Leeds school admissions for parents

Official source

Leeds City Council provides a step-by-step admissions journey covering research, extra information forms, normal-round applications, waiting lists, in-year moves and appeals. Leeds repeatedly tells parents to choose 5 schools to maximise the chance of receiving a preferred offer and to use the school-details tool before applying.

Primary September 2026 round

Primary and junior applications opened on 1 November 2025, closed on 15 January 2026 and offered places on 16 April 2026. Leeds also published a 12 February 2026 deadline for late applications and changes within its coordinated scheme.

Secondary September 2026 round

Secondary applications opened on 1 September 2025, closed on 31 October 2025 and offered places on 2 March 2026. Leeds published 28 November 2025 as the late-application and change deadline for schools following Leeds coordinated dates.

Use 5 preferences

Leeds says parents should choose 5 schools to give their child the best chance of getting a place at a school they prefer. The council also tells families to use the right address, check catchment, review cut-off data and consider travel before applying.

Extra information and cut-off data

Leeds has separate pages for supplementary information and a school-details tool showing admission policies and the last child offered a place. Offer-day guidance also links to cut-off distance PDFs for primary, junior and secondary schools.

In-year moves

Leeds says an in-year application can be made at any time, but offers are usually only kept open for a half term. Families moving house need to submit evidence of the move as soon as possible because the address can affect admission priority.

Appeals

For September 2026 entry, the appeal deadline is 31 March 2026 for Year 7 and 15 May 2026 for Reception. Leeds can hear appeals face to face or by video link, and usually sends decisions within 5 school days of the hearing.

What matters in Leeds

Leeds recommends choosing 5 schools in both phases to improve the chance of receiving a preferred offer.
The council tells parents to use the correct home address, check catchment, review cut-off data and think about travel before ranking schools.
Extra information matters. Leeds has a dedicated page for supplementary information and a school-details tool showing admission policies and the last child offered a place.
If none of your preferred schools can offer a place, Leeds says your child will be offered the closest school with available places.

In-year moves and appeals

Leeds says an in-year application can be made at any time, but offers are usually only kept open for a half term. If you are moving house or new to Leeds, the council asks for evidence of the move as soon as possible.

For appeals, Leeds can hear cases face to face or by video link. The council says it usually writes with the panel decision within 5 school days of the hearing.
