School Admissions
This site provides you with important information
about the process of applying for school places. You are advised to
read this information carefully before making an
application.
Applying for Admission in September 2012
All applications must be made to your 'home' local
authority (i.e the authority where you live) even if you are
applying for a school maintained by another local
authority. This includes both applications for admission in
September at the normal point of entry to school, and
admissions 'in year'.
The application process for school places either
for reception class in a primary school, or for transfer
to year 7 in a secondary school for the first time, has now
closed.

Making an Application After the Closing Dates
If you need to apply for primary or secondary school places
after the closing dates, please either complete the application
form below, or call 0300 123 5012 for guidance. You
can still apply for school places, but the application will be
classed as late (unless circumstances are agreed per
admission arrangements in How to Apply for
School Places booklet), and considered after all those
submitted on-time.
Please Note: Late applications may be disadvantaged.
Please read the information provided on this website.
More information about primary
admissions and the process for applying
for transfer to secondary schools is available on this
website.
Before making an application you are advised to read about the
process in our School Admissions information booklets, which explain the process
and how places are allocated.
If you prefer a paper application form these are provided
in our information booklets. Printed versions of School
Admissions Information booklets can be requested by contacting
the School Admissions
Department.
Please Note: Applications for admission
to a school's sixth form must be directed to the
school.
In-Year Admissions
'In year' admissions are those
arranged at any time during the year into any year
groups with the exception of admission at the normal point of
entry in September into the reception class in a primary
school or year 7 in a secondary school for the first time.
Applications for admission 'in-year' must be made to
your home local authority (i.e. the authority where you
live). This means that if you live in Cheshire East you must
apply to this Council even if you are seeking a place at
a school maintained by another local authority.
If you wish to speak to an adviser, please contact the School Admissions Department.
Applying for Admission in September 2011
Parents and carers of children born between 1 September 2006 and 31
August 2007 should be aware that your child is due to start
school on 1 September 2011, or January 2012 as a deferred
entry. Please contact
School
Admissions if you have not yet applied.
