Applications for secondary school places usually open in early September in the year your child starts Year 6 and close at the end of October. Applications are made online through the Lincolnshire Admissions Page (see link above).

This means that it is important to start exploring your options during Year 5 so that you can make your final choice early in Year 6.

School Transport

You may be in a position to take your child to school each day, but if you are not, then transport can be a significant factor.

If your child is of compulsory school age, they will get free school transport if they:

• live in Lincolnshire
• attend a school within the designated transport area (DTA) for their home address.
• attend a school nearer to their home address than the DTA school
• attend a school we allocated because there were no places available in nearer schools and, live: more than three miles away (secondary school).

Additionally, some schools run their own free transport. You can find out more about transport here. If your child is starting secondary school in September, they may be eligible for school transport. If you think your child is eligible, please apply for transport immediately once you have your offer of a school place. 

The customer service centre number is 01522 782030  
The telephone number for school transport is 01522 782020

For more information about the home to school transport policy and online applications, please go to www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/schooltransport. Queries can be emailed to schooltransportapplications@lincolnshire.gov.uk.

Any other questions?

If you have any other questions about secondary school transition, please do contact your child's class teacher and/or Mr Wells for more information and watch out for lots of information coming your way when your child is in Year 5.
