Apply for an in-year school transfer
Please read the following before you apply:
- you will need to contact your child's current school to obtain the designated email address for school transfers, as you will need to enter this on your application form - failure to do this may result in a delay in your form being processed
- if you want to request a transfer for more than one child, you must submit a form for each child
- all persons with parental responsibility for the child must agree to the request before the form is completed
- you may need to provide supporting evidence with your application form
- unless you are new to the UK or arriving in the next six weeks, your form will first be sent to your child's current school who will then forward the completed form to the School Admissions Team
- primary and secondary schools both have 10 school days to respond to the request, advising if a place is available
- if any of your preferences are for a faith school, the school may contact you for further information to verify your child's religion
- we cannot guarantee that your child will be offered a place at one of your chosen schools - this will depend on the availability of places at the schools you request
- if a place is offered it is expected that the child will be admitted on the date offered by the Head Teacher - if you do not take up the offer of a place within a maximum of six weeks of that date, the place will be withdrawn
