School application deadlines

342 closing dates read from schools' own Annual Admission Notices, with the ones still open first. Missing a deadline is the most avoidable way to lose a place.

Coverage is partial and growing: these are the schools whose notice we could find and read. Always confirm the date with the school — the notice linked from each school's page is the authority, not this table.
