In Year Admissions

This is coordinated for this academy by West Northants Council.  The 'in year' application process is for children requiring a school place during the academic year, rather than at the usual transfer time into a school at the beginning of Reception. This may be due to a house move or other change of circumstances.

Once an application has been processed, the parent will be contacted by letter. This will be emailed to the parent if an email address was provided on the application form.

Guidance on In Year Applications can be found by visiting the West Northamptonshire County Council website:
