Using this link, parents are able to access information regarding In Year Admissions and are able to submit a digital IYAF to the schools they are applying to. The same policy and procedure (apart from the timetable) applies to these applications. All applicants who wish to apply under the oversubscription criteria listed in the policy are requested to complete a Supplementary Information Form (available on the school websites or from each school’s Admissions Officer). Completed forms, along with any supporting documentation, should be sent to the Admissions Officer at the school at the time of application. Not doing so may lead to your child being placed in a lower priority category than they should.
Any supporting documentation requested must be provided to the school by the closing date. This includes for Catholic, Other Christian or Other Faith children, a copy of the baptismal certificate/dedication or evidence of membership.
Please note that if you are not offered a place and submit an appeal, a copy of the form will be submitted to the Appeal Panel.
