Starting school in September 2025

Is your child starting school in September 2025?

If your child was born between 1st September 2020 and 31st August 2021 (inclusive) you can make an application for your child to begin school during the school year 2025/2026.

The application period is now closed and you will need to make a late application via the London Borough of Bexley. Further information on all Bexley schools including how places are offered, deferred entry and waiting lists can be found by clicking here. To make the application; apply online through your home Local Authority’s Admissions Team. If you are a resident of the London Borough of Bexley you may apply online during the application period. If you live in any other borough e.g. Greenwich, you can include Bexley schools in your preferences, but you will need to contact your home Local Authority’s Admissions Team to apply online or obtain the application form.
