In-year admissions

Does your child need to join us outside of the usual September start date? That's not a problem - read on to find out how in-year admissions work.

An in-year admission is when you apply to a school outside the normal admissions round for pupils starting in September. You would normally make an in-year application if you have recently moved, you have arrived from another country or you want to transfer your child from another school.

Applications made to any year group outside the main admissions round should be made directly to the school.

You will hear the outcome of your application within 15 school days.

If refused a place, the parent/carer has the right to appeal the decision.

Application Form

Would you like to apply for siblings of a multiple birth (e.g. twins) or siblings within the same year group?
