Welcome to the Leicester Citizen Portal

NOTE - The Citizen Portal will be unavailable from Saturday 10th June 6am to Sunday 11th June 6pm due to essential maintenance work. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

The Citizen Portal allows parents of children who live in Leicester to make applications for:

- Funded Early Education for 2 year old children

Check your eligibility using your National Insurance or NASS reference number.

An instant decision will be given if your application is made under the economic criteria. Non-economic applications will be responded to after all verification processes have been completed.

- School Admissions

Submit an application for a school place - we will only accept one application per child.

The timescales for processing applications can be found on our website at leicester.gov.uk/admissions

Decisions are not instant and responses will be given on National Offer dates, or after processing (In Year application).

The Portal also allows parents, carers and young people to view, and share, information with the Local Authority in relation to Education, Health and Care plans (EHCP)

Further information and support

To use the Portal you will need to register using a valid email address. Once registered you are able to add and amend your family's information and make applications for the above services.
