You are able to apply for a high school place now. Applications for Queen Elizabeth High School, and other Northumberland high schools, are managed by the admissions team at Northumberland County Council. Details of the application process can be found by clicking here.
The admissions timetable is as follows:
12th September 2022: E-admissions portal opens – link here.
Information and Handbooks available on the Council’s website. See the leaflet on how to apply and portal user guidance. If you have questions, please contact schooladmissions@northumberland.gov.uk.
31st October 2022: Closing date for applications.
E-admission portal closes at 12 midnight. Any applications received after this date will be regarded as late and will not be considered as part of the first allocation of places.
1st March 2023:
Parents who have applied by 31 October 2022 will be notified of the outcome of their applications for school places
Any late applications will only be considered for a place after those applications received on time have been allocated. If all places at a school are allocated to on-time applications, this may result in students not getting a place at their preferred school even if they live in catchment or are in a catchment school.
If you do not apply for a place and you are resident in Northumberland you will be allocated to a school after all other applications have been allocated. You will only be allocated to your catchment school if there are still places available. If there are no spaces, you will be allocated the nearest school which has places available.
