All applications received after this date will be treated as late and will be dealt with after those received on-time and you are less likely to be offered a place at your preferred schools.

If you have an exceptional reason for applying late, and if the application is received before Tuesday 4 March 2024 along with the evidence, we may consider it as if it was received on time.
