The transfer to junior school admission round is for children in their last year at an infant school (aged 7+ on 1 September 2021). These children are 'due to transfer', which is the term used in the admission rules. In most situations, children who are attending a primary school on the opening day of the admission round are not considered 'due to transfer'. These applications have a lower priority for a place at a junior school. This is even if they live in the catchment area of a junior school.
How to appeal if my child is refused a place?
If you are refused a place, you have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel. If it is for an in-year application you will need to notify the admissions team. You will then receive an appeal form for you to complete with the reasons for the appeal. Once the form is received an appeal hearing must be held within 40 school days from the deadline for lodging appeals, or within 30 school days for an in-year admission application.
