In-year Admissions

The in-year admissions process is for parents who need to apply for a school place for their child during the school year. All in-year applications should be made directly to Havering Admissions.

If your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), please note there’s a different process for school transfers. You’ll need to contact Haverings Special Educational Needs Team directly at [email protected] to discuss changing your child’s school.

By law, all children aged between 5 and 16 must receive an education.

This means your child must continue to attend their current school while the School Admissions Team processes your application for a new school place.

Please note: if an in-year application is received during a school holiday period, we will respond as soon as possible when the school reopens.
