If your child was born between 1 September 2018 and 31 August 2019 (inclusive), they will be eligible to start school in the school year beginning September 2023.
The Year R application round will open on Tuesday, 1st November 2022 and closes at midnight on Sunday, 15th January 2023 (the national closing date).
From 1st November 2022 the online application system opens and will be accessible at: http://www.hants.gov.uk/admissions
The national notification date for on-time applicants is 17th April 2023.
Before the deadline (15 January 2023)
Online applicants must log back into the online system to change their application. Parents who have applied on a paper application will need to complete a fresh application or apply online if they wish to make changes. A new application received before 15 January will supersede the previous one.
After the deadline, and until 10 February 2023
Parents who submitted an on-time application can only change their application if there has been a significant change in their circumstances such as a house move or a sibling has started at the school. In the case of a house move, the Hampshire website outlines what address evidence is required, depending on the type of move. Evidence of the change of circumstances will need to be submitted to the Admissions Team by Friday 10 February 2023. Evidence received after this date will not be considered until 25 April, after the national notification date (17 April 2023)
Application deadline: 15 January 2023
The national application deadline is midnight on Sunday 15 January 2023. The online application system will close at midnight on this date.
Paper applicants wishing to submit their application to a Hampshire school, should note that as the deadline falls on a Sunday, the last school day before the deadline is Friday 13 January 2023. Alternatively, paper forms can be posted to the Admissions Team or hand delivered to the Admissions Team’s office in Winchester by 5pm on Friday 13 January 2023.
