Supplementary forms for schools outside Bracknell Forest
If you are applying for a school outside Bracknell Forest, you must check that school’s admission arrangements to see whether you need to send any supplementary forms or supporting information directly to the school or its admission authority.
Do not send birth certificates or proof of address to other local authorities or schools. These documents should only be sent to Bracknell Forest School Admissions.
Bracknell Forest School Admissions will not forward supplementary forms or supporting information to schools outside Bracknell Forest, so it is your responsibility to submit anything required by another admission authority by their deadline.
Make sure all your supporting documents are submitted before the closing date.
Check your emails regularly. School Admissions may contact you for more information to verify your application.
You will receive your offer of a school place by email on 1 March 2027.
School Admissions will not confirm offers over the phone.
When you receive your offer, you need to finalise your application by accepting or refusing the school place offered. This must be done by 15 March 2027.
Failure to do so may result in the school place offered being withdrawn.
More details will be provided with your offer.
When School Admissions have received responses from all our residents, and have co-ordinated with other local authorities, information will begin to be sent to schools.
Schools will begin to make contact to arrange your child's start.
Make sure all your supporting documents are submitted alongside your application.
Check your emails regularly. School Admissions may contact you for more information to verify your application.
