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 2025–2026 school year, 4,686 pupils have applied to various schools in Zuid-Kennemerland, Velsen and Haarlemmermeer. The joint school boards can confirm that 94% of the pupils have been allocated a place at their first-choice school. Furthermore, 99% of the pupils have been allocated a place 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.
Communications South Kennemerland, Velsen
The pupils who have not been placed at a school of first preference were called personally on 9 April. On the same day from 3:00 PM, all schools will publish the names of the placed pupils (as far as parental consent has been given) on their website*.
Haarlemmermeer Communications
Pupils not placed at their first-choice school were telephoned on 9 April. On the same day from 3 p.m. onwards, 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.
