Primary transition
Moving from Primary to Secondary School in September 2025
If your child was born between 1 September 2013 and 31 August 2014, you will need to apply for a secondary school place for September 2025.
If your child lives in Newham you will need to apply via London Borough of Newham. But if your child lives outside Newham, but you want him or her to go to school in Newham, you will need to apply through the local authority in the borough you live in.
We recommend that the families of all of our year 6 pupils attend as many of the Open Days and Open Evenings at the schools across Newham before making a decision what schools to name as a preference.
To maximise your opportunities of getting a place at one of your preferred secondary schools name six schools with at least one being your local school.
Remember, you must apply for a place, even if your child has a brother or sister attending the school.
