If you miss the closing date for secondary school applications, which is 31 October 2025, your application will not be assessed until after 2 March 2026. Consequently, you won't receive a notification about the outcome of your application until April 2026, and it’s highly unlikely you will secure a place at oversubscribed schools.
Here's a quick overview of the implications:
| Action | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Application submitted by 31 October 2025 | Considered on time |
| Late application | Reviewed after 2 March 2026 |
| Notification of outcome | April 2026 |
| Chance of oversubscribed school | Very unlikely |
Given the high demand for secondary school spaces in September 2026, it's crucial to prepare and apply on time. If you've already missed the deadline, consider contacting the Admissions Team for guidance. You can reach them by emailing 11plus@coventry.gov.uk for further assistance.
