For a Year 7 place at Colne Valley High School, starting in September 2026, parents/carers must apply between 1 September 2025 and 31 October 2026.
The application process starts when students move into Year 6; families will receive information about applying for a secondary school place and open evenings will take place in September/October.
Applications must be submitted online via the Kirklees Parent Portal by 31st October (late applications can reduce chances of obtaining a place). Offers are made on 1st March – parents/carers can log on to the Kirklees Parent Portal from 8:30am to view their offer of a school place and an email offer will be sent during the day to the email address the parent/carer used when submitting their application.
