In-Year Applications

An application can be made for a place for a child at any time outside the admission round and the child will be admitted where there are available places.

For information on making an in-year application, parents should contact the local authority admissions team at:
Admissions and Information Service,
Newcastle City Council,
Room 225 Civic Centre,
Barras Bridge,
Newcastle, NE1 8QH

0191 278 7878

If the child is new to the city and does not currently have a school place, parents can apply online. Alternatively paper forms are available from any school or Customer Service Centre. If the child currently goes to school in Newcastle and parents want them to move schools they must complete a paper application. Hard copies are available from the school.

You will be advised of the outcome of the application in writing. Where there are places available but more applications than places, the published oversubscription criteria, as set out above, will be applied. If there are no places available, a request can be made that the child is added to the waiting list (see above). You have the right of appeal to an independent appeal panel if refused a place
