Introduction
An in-year admission is when you are applying for a school place outside of the ‘normal admissions rounds’.
(Normal admissions rounds are a statutory process where all parents/carers must apply for a place for their child to start school in the school’s 'year of entry' at Primary, or Secondary school).
- An in-year admission could be a move between Cambridgeshire schools, or a move to a Cambridgeshire school from a school in a different county or country.
- To apply for a place at a school outside of Cambridgeshire you will need to apply to the local authority of the new school.
When you can apply
- You can submit an application for a school place up to 30 school days before the intended start date.
- Please allow 10 school days before you enquire about the progress or status of your application.
- We will email your offer when it has been processed, we aim to process applications within 10 school days.
- If we have not received a valid application, or the correct documentary evidence, we will contact you - this will delay your offer of a place.
Before applying please ensure you have read both this page and our Researching schools and catchment area page.
