Manchester school admissions for parents
Manchester City Council centralises its timetable, primary and secondary application pages, school finder, appeal route and determined admissions scheme on one admissions hub. The clearest official source for September 2026 entry is the council timetable page, which also lists offer-response and appeal deadlines.
Primary September 2026 round
Primary Reception applications opened on 18 August 2025, closed on 15 January 2026 and offers were made on 16 April 2026. Manchester also says the deadline for accepting or refusing a primary offer is 30 April 2026.
Secondary September 2026 round
Secondary Year 7 applications opened on 1 July 2025, closed on 31 October 2025 and offers were made on 2 March 2026. The deadline for accepting or refusing a secondary offer is 16 March 2026.
Appeal deadlines
Manchester's timetable gives 15 May 2026 as the closing date for on-time primary appeals and 30 March 2026 for on-time secondary appeals.
Research before applying
Manchester links parents directly to a school finder and the determined admissions scheme alongside the application pages, making it easier to compare schools and then confirm the legal arrangements used for allocation.
Primary and secondary routes
The admissions hub separates primary and secondary routes but keeps them under one timetable. That gives parents one place to check the current round before applying or appealing.
