In-year admissions
Handford Hall Primary School accepts in-year admission applications directly from parents.
An in-year admission application is one that is made outside of the normal time of transfer between schools, for example when a family moves house part way through a school year.
Our school:
- allocates places on the basis of the published over-subscription criteria
- informs local authorities of all applications and their outcome
- informs parents of their right of appeal against the refusal of a place
- complies with the code
- participates fully in locally agreed fair access protocols
Apply for a place after the start of the school year
