Determined Admission Arrangements for Community and Voluntary Controlled Primary Schools for 2024/25

10. In Year Transfer Applications for year groups other than Reception and YR 3 Junior 2024 Intake

Applications received after the 24 July 2024 for the year of entry and any applications received for other year groups are classed as in-year transfer applications.

All applications will be considered together with any applications that have already been refused.

Applications for transfer for VC and C schools will be considered no more than eight weeks in advance of the required admissions date.

Where the LA receives an in-year application form expressing a preference for a VC or C school the application will be forwarded to the school within three school days of receipt. The school is then required to advise the LA if a place can be offered within two school days or receipt.

Applications for transfer at a future date

Applications for transfer for VC and C schools as well as any Voluntary Aided, Foundation school or Academy that has opted in to the In Year Co-ordination Scheme(these are schools which are available for selection on the Parent Portal) can be submitted eight weeks in advance of the required admissions date.

Applications for transfer for VA and F schools and Academies will be forwarded when received directly to the schools named for consideration in accordance with the school's own admissions policy.

Applications received requesting more immediate admission are considered in the order that the School Admissions Team receives them. If more than one application for a particular school is received on the same date, places are allocated to children in order of the oversubscription criteria as listed in this policy.

In all cases parent(s)/guardian(s) will be invited to state up to a maximum of three preferences. An offer will be made at the school listed as highest preference possible which has an available place.

If a child is offered a place at any VC or C school, then the place must be accepted or declined within 10 working days of the date of offer.

If a child is offered a place at any VC or C school and the parent(s)/guardian(s) accept the place, it must be taken up within 28 working days of the required admissions date stated on the original application form. Should the place not be taken up within the 28 working days, the LA will then write to the parents informing them that the place has been withdrawn.
