In-year admissions (moving schools)
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.
- You can submit an application for a school place up to 30 school days before the intended start date. When we have received a valid application, along with the appropriate documentary evidence, we aim to process it within 20 school days*.
Your reason for applying or your circumstances may affect how you apply and what is required.
