This site provides you with important information about the process for applying for school places. You are advised to read this information carefully before making an application.
'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 Authority.
The process for completing applications for admission at the normal point of entry into the reception class in a primary school or into year 7 as a secondary transfer begins on 1 September 2010. More information about primary admissions and the process for applying for transfer to secondary schools is available on this website.
As with 'in year' applications, you must apply 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.
Cheshire East residents will be able to apply online here from 1 September.
When completing your application you are advised to read about the process in our information booklets, which explains the process and how places are allocated. Information booklets are available here from 1 September.
If you prefer to apply using a paper application form, these are provided in our information booklets. Information booklets can be requested from this Authority.
