Apply for a secondary school place
Secondary school places 2024/2025
For children born between 1st September 2012 and 31st August 2013
At the beginning of September secondary application packs are distributed to Year 6 pupils via your child’s primary school. If your child is absent, or doesn't attend a mainstream primary school in Hartlepool, you will receive their pack letter by post.
The application period is between 1st September 2023 and 31st October 2023. Before you submit your application please read the Education in Hartlepool - September 2024 booklet carefully. The booklet provides information on the admission process, key dates and lots of information which you may find useful.
To secure your child's place at secondary school, you must submit your application (along with any supporting documents such as a baptism certificate) by 31st October 2023. If your application is received after this deadline, we will treat it as late and deal with it after the applications which were received on time.
