If you cannot apply online, use our contact form to request a paper application form.
Junior schools are for 7 to 11-year-olds (school years 3 to 6).
Your child is due to transfer to junior school when they are in their last year (year 2) at an infant school.
You need to apply for a junior school place for September 2024 if:
Primary schools are for 4 to 11-year-olds (reception to year 6).
Children in year 2 at a primary school are not ‘due to transfer’ to a junior school. This means you do not need to apply for transfer to junior school if you want your child to continue going to the same primary school in year 3.
You can still apply for transfer to junior school if your child is in year 2 at a primary school. Your application will be given lower priority than applications from children at infant schools – even if you live in the catchment area for the school.
If you apply on time for transfer to junior school for September 2024 we will offer you a school place on 16 April 2024.
We will tell the headteacher of the school that your child has a place. The school will contact you with further information.
Some schools will need you to complete an acceptance form. They will send you this form with their welcome pack.
The first day of autumn term 2024 is Wednesday 4th September. Your child should go to school on that day unless the school tells you otherwise.
