Admissions

If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements in the policy below. 

In Year Admissions

If you're thinking about moving your child to another school during the academic year, you should first raise the matter with his/her headteacher. This is because it may be possible to resolve any issues your child is experiencing without changing schools. If you still feel it would be better for your child to change school, you can apply for an in year place.

How to apply

Depending on your circumstance you must apply using one of the routes below:

Transferring your child from one Southwark school to another Southwark school

If your child is currently attending a Southwark school and you plan to apply for a place at another Southwark school, you must complete Southwark Council’s in year application form ^{(pdf, 62kb)}. You must then return the completed in year application form directly to the school you're applying to.

Making a new in year application to a Southwark school

If your child is currently not attending a Southwark school and you'd like to apply for an in year place at a Southwark school, you must complete Southwark Council’s in year application form ^{(pdf, 62kb)}.

You must then return the completed in year application form by email to inyear.admissions@southwark.gov.uk. Please do not return your application or supporting documents by post as we will not be able to accept these.

Applying to a school outside of Southwark

If you'd like to apply for a school outside of Southwark, you'll need to contact the borough where the school is located to ask about their application arrangements.

Families who are applying for a voluntary aided (church) schools, academy, foundation or free school, must contact the school directly to ask if they are required to complete a Supplementary Information Form (SIF). All completed SIFs must be returned directly to the school of application
