If your school application is delayed, it won't be processed until after the main allocation dates, which significantly affects your chances of securing a place in popular schools. If you apply late, you’ll likely only receive an offer for a school where there might still be availability, if any.
Here's a quick look at what happens with delayed applications:
| Late Application Deadline | Outcome Date | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| After 31 October 2025 | April 2026 | Likely to receive an offer from less popular schools only. |
If you have missed a deadline or applied late, it’s a good idea to contact the Admissions Team for guidance on your specific situation. You can learn more about the admissions process here.
