In-Year Admissions

Applications for school places ‘in year’ are for admission after the first day of the school year into the relevant age group* or into any other year group.

*The relevant age group includes reception class admissions for children admitted to a primary school for the first time in September as 'rising fives' and pupils transferring to secondary into the year 7 class.  Children are normally admitted to the reception class in the September of the academic year in which they reach the age of five.

Please read our In Year Admissions Leaflet, which provides you with information about schools in Cheshire East and the process for applying for school places 'In Year'.
