Time to choose which secondary school to send your child to

The application process for children transferring to secondary school in September 2024 opens today (1 Sep).

Parents of all Year 6 children living in Bury will receive a letter explaining the process on or after 5 September; this will also include details of school open days/evenings.

The online admissions system is the quickest and easiest way of applying for a place and this can be found at www.bury.gov.uk/admissionssecondary.

The closing date for applications is 31 October 2023. Any received after this date will be treated as late applications and will not be considered until after all the on-time applications have been allocated. Parents will be informed next March which secondary school place their child has been awarded.

Star Radcliffe Academy

The new secondary school in Radcliffe, Star Radcliffe Academy, will open for its first intake into Year 7 in September 2024.

Parents wishing to send their children to the new school must apply to the school’s Trust directly – this will not be available as a preference option on the council’s application form.

Their school website www.starradcliffe.org will go live in September 2023 and this will provide further information about the school and details of how to apply for a place.

NB: Parents who apply for Star Radcliffe Academy should still apply for other schools on their application to Bury Council.
