You may not be able to avoid changing school because of a house move. If there are other reasons for wanting your child to change school, you need to carefully consider the matter. A change of
school can be traumatic for a child as they lose friends and established relationships with teachers.
You should always discuss the situation with the head teacher of your child's current school before you contact us.
If, following discussion with the school, you still want your child to transfer schools, you should contact us to ask for a 'school transfer request form'. You must then return the form to the Admissions Officer.
If we have two applications for one place, and both have equal priority, we will apply the admission conditions as specified in the Primary & Secondary Education booklet.
If you apply for a transfer, it will not be an automatic process. The Admissions Service will want information from the schools concerned and will only approve a transfer if the relevant school agrees. However, this does not affect your right of appeal if you do not agree with the final decision.
We will deal with applications for transfers as we receive them in the Admissions Section, whether they are delivered by hand, fax, e-mail or post. You can get a copy of our transfer procedure by phoning the Admissions Officer on 01642 526605.
