In year applications must be submitted directly to the school using the LA in-year application form (hard copy only) Where there are more applications than places available within a particular year group, applications will be considered against the published oversubscription criteria and allocated up to the admission number/ limit.
Places will not be allocated more than six school weeks or half a term in advance of being required. The only exceptions are children of UK service personnel and other crown servants (including Diplomats) returning to the UK with a confirmed posting to the area (see Children of UK service personnel)
In year admission information can be requested from the school, where a place is available in year the decision to admit rests with the school, where a year group is oversubscribed an applications will need to be referred to the Local Authority.
