In Year Transfers

You can apply for an in-year transfer if you would like your child to change schools or join a school outside the normal application round.  This normally applies if:

  • You have moved into the area and do not currently have a school place for your child;

  • You have moved within the area and want to transfer your child to a closer school;

  • You have recently moved to the UK from abroad;

  • You wish to transfer your child from their current school to another school for any other reason.
