Apply for an in year primary school place

Applying for an in year primary school place

Apply for a primary school if your child needs to change schools or if you have moved and they don not have a place.

You must accept any school offer within 20 school days, or it may be taken away.

Check the year group table to find the right year for your child.

Read the admissions criteria for the schools you wish to apply for.

You must also fill out and send the Supplementary Information Form (SIF) to the faith school along with your regular school application.

See our schools and colleges directory to find a faith school.

To apply for a place at St Vincent's Catholic Primary School during the school year, you will need to contact the school instead of the council.

School places are offered weekly during term time.

Applications made by 4pm on a Friday will be considered the following week. You will get an email within 10 school days confirming the outcome.

The admissions team cannot give you any updates until they make a final decision.

If your child was born on or after 1 September 2021 you can reach out to the family information service for advice on nursery options.
