Coronavirus update (26 March 2020)

We are changing the way in-year applications are processed by School Admissions during the COVID-19 crisis. The local authority (NCC) will prioritise supporting those children most in need at this difficult time.

​Moving to a different school at any time other than the usual admission to Reception class, transfer to junior school, or transfer to secondary school, is known as an ‘in-year transfer’.

In-year applications are applications to start school now (or within the next month).

Children who have an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan should contact the EHC team for advice on the application process which applies to them.
