If you miss the closing date for secondary school admissions, which is on 31 October 2025, your application will not be processed until after the initial allocation date of 2 March 2026. This could significantly reduce your chances of securing a place at your preferred school, especially in the context of high demand due to increased birth rates.
Here’s the impact of missing the deadline:
| Missed Deadline | Consequences |
|---|---|
| 31 October 2025 | Application addressed after 2 March 2026; no notification until April 2026; limited choices likely. |
It’s advisable to contact the Admissions Team directly if you think you may miss the deadline. You can reach them by email at 11plus@coventry.gov.uk for guidance.
