When to apply to transfer from infant to junior and middle school

Closing dates for transferring from infant to junior school applications, dates that late applications can be received and reasons for still applying for a school place even if the deadline had passed.

Junior school places

The closing date for parents to apply for a junior and school place for their child has now passed. However, you can still apply for a junior school place for your child.

For late applications received up to 7 May 2026 , decisions will be sent to parents on 29 May 2026 .

Applications received after 7 May 2026 will be processed in due course and the Admissions Team will aim to advise parents in writing of the outcome before September 2026.

If you are submitting the form to change your preference(s) and we are able to allocate one of the schools you have stated on your form, the school your child was originally allocated will immediately be withdrawn and re-allocated to another child.

You must apply for a school place even if:

  • you've already made an earlier application direct to the school
  • your preferred school is not in Luton
  • your preferred school is a faith school, a foundation school, an academy or a free school
  • your child is attending the linked infant school

Middle school places

The closing date for parents to apply for a place for their child has now passed. However, you can still apply for a middle school place for your child.

If you are submitting the form to change your preference(s) and we are able to allocate one of the schools you have stated on your form, the school your child was originally allocated will immediately be withdrawn and re-allocated to another child.
