You need to apply online through Slough’s Citizen Portal. If your child is starting Reception or Year 7, you’ll use the school admissions online application and create an account first if you don’t already have one.
| Situation | What to do | Link |
|---|---|---|
| First-time user | Create a Slough Citizen Portal account, then add your child and start the application | school admissions |
| Reception application | Use the Reception application route shown on the school admissions page | school admissions |
| Year 7 application | Use the Year 7 application route shown on the school admissions page | school admissions |
| Other year groups / moving schools | Use the in-year application route in the Citizen Portal | school admissions |
A few practical points: you can list preferences, rank them in order, and submit online. For Reception, you’ll also need to provide a copy of the child’s birth certificate and proof of address less than 3 months old.
