How to Apply for a Secondary School Place
For Parent/Carer(s) with a Child in Year 6
If you live in Cumbria and your child is in Year 6 in a primary or junior school you must apply to Cumbria County Council for a secondary school place, under the Local Authority’s Coordinated Admissions Scheme.
The School Admissions and Appeals Team will send a letter to you through your child’s junior or primary school. This letter will include a unique identification number (UID). If you have more than one child transferring you will receive a UID for each child. The online application form can be found at:
Link: www.cumbria.gov.uk/schooladmissions
If you are unable to apply online, you can download a form, SA3, from the Cumbria County Council website (www.cumbria.gov.uk/schooladmissions). If you do not have access to a computer then please ask your child’s current school to help.
For Parent/Carers(s) with a Child in Years 7-11
If you have a child who is currently in years 7-11 in another secondary school and would like to apply for a place at Millom School, please contact Mrs C. Jackson on 01229 772300 to request an application form and arrange a meeting with the Director of Learning and Standards for the relevant Key Stage so that they can discuss your child’s admission with you.
