Changing Schools during the Academic Year
If you wish to transfer your child from one school to another, you can apply for a change of schools. If the change is not related to a house move, speak to your child’s current Headteacher first.
There is no guarantee that we can offer places at your preferred school/s, as offers are made only when there is space in the requested year group. You should not remove your child from their current school before you have an offer of a place at another school.
If you are successful, your child will start at the beginning of the next term or half term, whichever is sooner.
You can apply online to transfer your child to a new school – Click ‘Let’s Get Started’ to make an application
We will process your application within 15 school days. If you are unsuccessful in gaining a place, we will write to you to explain why. If we can offer the place, you will receive a call from the new school.
