Making an application (in-year school admissions)

We are experiencing a high volume of applications and are processing all as swiftly as possible in date order 

Before applying for a in-year school place

Please ensure you have read our other guidance pages.

These operational PANs may not be included in the spaces available spreadsheet, which is updated weekly. Please call our contact centre to find out the latest update on where there are spaces available in schools.

Where a school placement has been refused and a school has an operational PAN, applications can still be made for your preference school and if refused the right to appeal will be given.

Apply online using our Citizen Portal

Please check spaces available at the top of the page, This is an indication of spaces available at a set date. This information is updated weekly. Some classes mix year groups so information is provided based on a school Published Admission Number and not class structure in some cases.

The school place application system is now open. You can now apply for in-year school places using the Citizen Portal linked below.

  • If you are applying under academic or religious grounds, you may also need to complete a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) and send this to the school so they have it when they receive a request for a school place from us.
  • You will make one application per child and the application will be based on your child’s home address.
  • You should specify three schools, in order of preference. It is strongly recommended that you select your catchment school as one of your three preferences. 
  • Use all three preferences. If you only apply to one school, and there are no places available, we may allocate a school that you would not have chosen. You will also be responsible for getting your child to and from that school.
  • Check that you are not including any schools that process their own in-year admissions as one of your three preferences (see frequently asked questions below).
  • If you are moving, or have moved address, you will need to attach proof of address with your application (see frequently asked questions below).
