You can apply for up to three schools as stated in the In year policy (PDF) .
We can only discuss the application with the person who has made the application unless they have provided us with permission to discuss the application with someone else, for example, a family member.
Children who are looked after, previously looked after, or on a child protection plan are given priority for a school place.
Do not apply before 1 July if you are applying for a September place.
We aim to process all applications within 10 days.
