Parents of pupils in Year 4 who would like their child to attend a middle school from September 2024 must apply for a school place by 15 January 2025.
To find out whether you need to complete additional forms and for further information on the middle school application process, you must contact the relevant local authority’s Admissions team. Please note: You must provide any additional documents/supporting information direct to the relevant local authority and/or the school(s) you are applying for. Documentation sent to Luton’s Admissions Team will not be forwarded on to the relevant local authority and/or school.
Making an application using the education portal
You must register to the online system if you have not used the online application system in the last three years.
Once you have completed the registration, you will be able to access the system using the log in details you have used this year for any future online applications you wish to make.
If your child has not been educated in a Luton school, you will need to upload her/his birth certificate.
You must read the checklist before submitting your application.
The closing date for applications to be considered in the initial allocation is 15 January 2025.
All documents must also be provided by 15 January 2025. Please note, additional forms must be provided to the relevant Council by 15 January 2025.
Applications received after 15 January 2025 will be treated as late. Late applications will be processed as soon as possible.
Please note, the education portal can be used to apply online for a middle school place and to keep up to date with the any changes you make to your application.
After the closing date, an update on the school your child has been allocated can be seen on the portal from 16 April 2025.
Alternative ways to make an application
