How do I apply for a school place in Crowthorne?

Apply to your council - Wokingham or Bracknell Forest, depending on your address - through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts. Independent schools run their own admissions, so apply to those directly.
