The deadline to apply for primary school places for the current cycle has already passed. On-time applications were accepted until 15 January 2026, and any applications received after that date are considered late.
Here’s a quick overview of the important dates for primary school admissions:
| Date | Activity |
|---|---|
| 1 September 2025 | Main application period opens. |
| 15 January 2026 | Main application period closes (late applications accepted thereafter). |
| 12 March 2026 | Deadline to submit a change of address for consideration. |
| 16 April 2026 | Offer day – you'll receive your school place offer. |
| 30 April 2026 | Deadline to accept the offer. |
If you missed the deadline, you can still apply, but be aware that late applications will be considered only after all on-time applications have been allocated. For more details, visit Swindon Primary School Admissions.
