Parents and carers in Crouch End, Hornsey and Stroud Green have until tomorrow, Saturday 31 October, to apply online for a secondary school place starting in September 2027. The deadline covers children born between 1 September 2015 and 31 August 2016.
Haringey Council says applicants get a confirmation email once they submit, and offers will arrive by email on 2 March 2027. The council says every secondary school in the borough hosted an open event this autumn.
A deadline that falls on a Saturday is easy to lose to the weekend. Anyone who has not pressed submit should do it tonight, not tomorrow.
