Admissions

If this is your child's first admission into a school, your Local Authority (wherever you pay your council tax to) will send you an application form around October each year, or your current childcare provider may be able to supply you with one.  The Local Authority will notify you during March if your child has been successful in gaining a place at your preferred school, this leaves time for appeals if necessary. 

Any interested party has the opportunity until 15 May to object to the determined admission arrangements if they contain practices or criteria that they consider do not comply with the law or the mandatory provisions of the schools admissions code. Further information on how to make an objection can be obtained from the Office of the Schools Adjudicator

If you are transferring your child 'in year' you still have to apply to your Local Authority, who will then contact your preferred school to see if they have places available. 

Please refer to our Admission Policy for any further guidance.
