In Year Transfers

Parents or carers living within the Bradford District who would like their child to move to a different school should first contact their child’s current school to discuss the reasons for the transfer.

If your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan or Statement of Special Educational Needs please do not complete an application form. Please contact the SEN Team on 01274 439200 for advice.

In year applicants will also need to fill in an In Year Transfer form. If school is not able to offer a place you will be informed in writing of this decision and have the right of appeal.  You will also be placed on the waiting list.  Pupils wanting a place higher up in the school will only be accepted at the beginning of a new term and midterm transfers will only be considered in exceptional circumstances.

If you have any queries regarding admission to school please telephone the school office.  Visits to the school are warmly welcomed by prior arrangement.
