Applying for a school place
If your child is due to start Year 7 in August 2025 the deadline for admissions is 31st October 2024. You will need to apply for your place via the Leicestershire County Council Website, which you can reach using this link – LCC Apply for Secondary School. If you live in Leicester then you will need to apply through Leicester City Council but you can still select The Winstanley School from the list of schools – you can find this information on the Leicester City website.
There is currently a huge demand for school places and it is advised that you select more than one school when applying in case your first choice school does not have places, especially if that school is not your nearest.
