A status ("Closes in 12 days") is shown only for a closing date we have checked, worked out from today's date, 10 October 2026.

Always confirm with the school or council.
You apply through the council where you live, not to the school, naming up to six schools in order on one form. Every applicant on time hears on the same national offer day. Schools with a religious character often ask for a supplementary information form as well, returned to the school by the same deadline.
