IN YEAR TRANSFERS
You can make an in-year application if your child needs to join a school outside of the normal admissions round - for example if you move house and your child can no longer attend their current school.
Those wishing to apply for an in-year place must complete an online application via their local authority. For those residing in Hampshire, further information regarding the application process can be found by clicking HERE. An online application can be made via the following link: Hampshire Education Online Portal
We also require you to complete a Supplementary Form (SIF) and send this to the school along with a copy of the child’s baptism certificate (if applying for Faith based reasons). Paper copies of all application forms are available on request from the school office.
Documents can be submitted in person at the school office or scanned and emailed directly to admissions

WAITING LISTS
Where there are more applicants than places available, a waiting list will operate for each year group according to our agreed Admissions Arrangements and without regard to the date the application was received or when a child's name was added to the waiting list. Waiting lists will be reviewed in the Summer term of each Academic Year and parents will be contacted to see whether they wish for their child to remain on the waiting list. Failure to confirm your child's position on the waiting list will result in your child's removal from the list.
