All pupils have been placed
Just like last year, every pupil has been asked to indicate a preference for their secondary school. Many pupils have explored their options widely, visited open days, and have ultimately submitted their preferred schools.
For the 2026-2027 school year, 4664 pupils have registered at various schools in Zuid-Kennemerland, Velsen and Haarlemmermeer. The joint school boards can report that 95% of pupils have been placed at their first-choice school.
It is also worth noting that 99% of the pupils have been placed at a school from their top three choices.
For pupils who were unsuccessful in gaining a place at their first-choice school, the placement procedure has been carried out under the supervision of a notary.
Communication South Kennemerland
Students not placed at their first-choice school were telephoned personally on 8 April. On the same day from 15:00, schools will publish the names of admitted students (provided parental consent has been given) on their website.*.
Communications Haarlemmermeer and Velsen
Pupils who have not been placed at a first-choice school were contacted personally on 8 April. On the same day, from 3.00 PM, pupils who have been placed at their first-choice school will be informed by email.
Evaluation
In late June, the ‘application and registration’ scheme will be evaluated. The experiences of parents and teachers will be taken into account.
* Het Haarlem College heeft er vanwege de AVG-wetgeving voor gekozen om geen namenlijst te publiceren. Alle geplaatste leerlingen zijn inmiddels persoonlijk benaderd per mail. Mocht u geen mail ontvangen hebben en heeft uw kind zich wel ingeschreven, neem dan contact met ons op via administratie@haarlemcollege.nl of 023-5311572.
