Secondary School Admissions
If your child was born between 1 September 1998 and 31 August 1999, he or she will be due to start secondary school in September 2010.
Parents will be invited to submit their preferences for the Secondary School they would like their child to attend. Preference forms will be sent via the child's Primary School in September 2009.
These forms need to be completed and returned by 23rd October 2009.
Parents can also apply on line using the log-on details that will have been sent with the preference form. Please click here for details on the On-Line Admissions System
Under the Co-ordinated Admissions Scheme, preference forms will be distributed to children from the Local Authority in which the child's home address is. Parents wishing to apply for a school in another Local Authority should complete the details on the application that has been given to them and the ‘home' Local Authority will act as a co-ordinator between the other neighbouring Authorities.
A booklet is available containing information and help in the transition to secondary school. This also includes details of individual schools' admissions criteria. View a copy of the Primary and Secondary Education in Middlesbrough.
Letters will be sent to parents on 1st March 2010 informing them which school their child will attend in September 2010.
In the event that a parent is not happy with the school that has been offered there is an appeals procedure
