In-year school admissions: Overview

You can find your catchment area school or a list of schools in your area using our schools guide. The Department for Education also provides a search facility so you can compare schools.

Please note: due to current school closures, schools are not admitting children for education purposes at present and therefore there may be delays in responding to applications for school places.

Please contact us once schools have reopened if you have followed the steps outlined in the information below and need additional support.
