This guide shows the possible demand for schools you might be interested in.
It shows how offers were made for Year 7 places for September 2026 to on-time applicants and to late applicants received up to 22/02/2026. Where there are more parents applying for a place in a school/Academy than there are places available, the oversubscription criteria is used to decide which applicants are offered a place.
More detail about the admission process, and copies of the admissions criteria for all secondary schools/academies can be found at www.manchester.gov.uk/admissions.
There's no guarantee that the demand for schools will be the same next year, so use this as a guide only.
