The deadline for applications is 31st October 2026.

Make sure you look at the School Admissions Brochure which contains essential information that will help you in making your child’s application, including:

• admission policies and oversubscription criteria for Gateshead schools
• information on how places are offered
• the number of applications received and the number of places offered for previous years

Important:

• we recommend you apply to three schools – applying for only one school does not improve you chances of gaining a place at this school
• you can not apply to Emmanuel College using our online application form – you must contact Emmanuel College directly if you want to apply for a place there
• if you rank a school outside Gateshead as one or more of your preferences you must look at the admission policy for that school before submitting your application
• you must apply by 31 October 2026
