National secondary school offer day - Friday 1 March 2024

All parents of children who have applied to start secondary school and live in Middlesbrough will be sent a letter telling them the outcome of their application.

If you applied online, you'll also get an email on the morning of Friday 1 March. If you do not get an email, sign in to the school admissions portal to see the application. If you cannot sign in, you'll need to wait for your letter to arrive.

Please note, for data protection reasons we cannot give out any information over the phone.

School applications for foreign national children

add

Overseas nationals entering the UK who want to apply for a place at a state-funded school must make sure they have 'right of abode', or that the conditions of their immigration status allow them to access a state-funded school. It is parents' responsibility to check this when applying for a school place. Find out more about right of abode.

More information about school applications for foreign national children and children resident outside England is available on GOV.UK.
