We are looking forward to welcoming parents/carers of Year 6 pupils into our school on Wednesday 3rd June at 5-6pm, whose children will be starting their new life here with us in September. This is a great opportunity for you to meet the team and ask any questions you may have regarding your child’s transition from Primary to Secondary School.
Portal for Admission is Closing in 24 hours!
Applications into Year 7 for September 2026 at Duke’s Secondary School are filling up extremely fast. This is a final reminder that the last opportunity to apply is this Friday, 31st October 2025 – Tomorrow!
Please be aware that sending an application does not automatically mean that your child’s place is guaranteed. Where the number of applications for admission is greater than the published admission number, applications will be considered against the criteria as set out in the Academy’s Admissions Policy.
Unless there are exceptional circumstances, an application received after 31 October 2025 will be considered late. This will lower your chance of being offered a place at your preferred school. If you return your application after 31 October 2025, you must give a reason why it is late.
If you have not yet submitted your child’s application, we urge you to do so as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. To apply for admission into Year 7 at Duke’s Secondary School, please visit the website below immediately.
