The application process depends on which year-group you are applying to:

APPEALS PROCESS:
Appeals for places at Turing House must be lodged via the Local Authority's Appeals process.
Timetable for 2026 Year 7 Intake:
- Applications Open: 1st September 2025
- Application Deadline: 31 October 2025
- Applications submitted after this date will be treated as late applications.
- National Offer Day: 2 March 2026
- Online applicants will receive an email from the Local Authority during the evening, informing them of the result of their application.
- Letters are also sent out on this day, by first class post.
- If your child did not qualify for a place at one or more of your higher preference schools, your letter will include information about the Waiting List process.
- The Local Authority administers the Turing House Waiting List in three bands, as described in the notes section of our Admissions Policy.
- Acceptance Deadline: TBC
- This is the date by which parents must accept or decline their initial offer.
- A further wave of offers is usually sent out a few weeks after this date, to applicants who remain on the Waiting List for one or more higher preference schools.
- Each wave of offers results in parents giving up previously accepted offers, so there is usually Waiting List movement between March and September.
- Appeals Deadline: 17th April 2026
- All appeals lodged by this deadline will be considered at the same time, on a week day in May/June. When there are multiple appeals, it is usual for the first stage of the hearing to be held as a group and the second stage as an individual hearing. Decisions will be made after all the cases have been heard.
- Appeals are made through the Local Authority's Appeals team, and their Appeals Guidance explains the process. You can find the Year 7 appeals statistics from previous years in our admissions data table. The cost of each appeal (c£400) is met by the school.
- Appellants must submit any additional evidence by 5 working days before their appeal hearing.
- Decision letters will usually be sent out within 5 school days after the appeal hearing.
- Appeals lodged after the deadline will be heard on a date later than the appeals that were received before the deadline.
