Changing an application after it has been submitted

After submitting a school admissions application, if you’d like to make a change there will be a short period where you can unsubmit your application through your Education Self-Service account and submit a new one. If the option to unsubmit an application is not displayed, you will need to complete an online form to let us know about a change to a school admissions application.

Applications received within the in-round period are classed as on-time. You can make a change to an application within this period and it will still be considered on-time.

However, if you make any changes to an on-time application after the closing date, we will consider this as a new application which will replace anything previously received and will be recorded as late.
