How to read these dates
- State school dates are national, set by the School Admissions Code. Your own council's page is the authority; many are linked from each borough page.
- Independent schools set their own deadlines. Each date here was read from the school's admissions page and links to it from the school's page.
- Dates a school gives only loosely ("early January") are left off this list and marked approximate on the school's page.
- A date can change. Confirm with the school or council before you rely on it, and tell us if one is wrong.
