Families of children who attend an infant school will also need to apply for a junior school place for this coming September 2022.
Local councils must provide a place at another school, if your child is not offered a place at any of the schools you’ve applied for.
Sunderland City Council launched its application system on October 4, 2021 ahead of National Offer Day on April 19, 2022.

Forms can be filled in online or on paper.
Families will be sent email confirmation once the application has been received and will then receive a further email about their child's school place sooner than if you apply by paper application form.
Applications sent in a paper form will receive a letter from Sunderland City Council.
You can apply for a school place in Sunderland online here. Meanwhile, paper application forms are available from any of the council's Customer Service Centres or by ringing the Life and Family team.
