Admissions

How to apply

Parents and carers may apply at any time for an in-year school place.  Application forms are provided and processed by Leeds City Council (tel. 0113 222 4414).

You can apply for a place online using the local authority in-year application form at:

Before you move schools (leeds.gov.uk).

If you have moved to a new house, please upload evidence of the move with the online application.

Parents and carers will be notified in writing by the school of its decision. This will be within 15 school days of your in-year application being received.

If the school is unable to offer a place, your child’s name will automatically be added to the school’s waiting list, which will be kept open until the end of the school year in July 2022. Where a place becomes available, this will be offered from the waiting list, based on the oversubscription criteria within the school’s admissions policy

In-year applications (1 September 2022 to 31 August 2023)

If you would like to change schools, or if you are moving into the area for example, you can apply for a school transfer, by making an in-year application.

An in-year application is for the admission of a child to Reception if submitted on or after the first day of the first school term of the admission year; or it is for the admission of a child to any other age group at any time.

Red Kite Learning Trust and its Leeds schools are part of the Leeds City Council co-ordinated in-year admissions scheme.

Appeals

If your in-year application is unsuccessful, you will have the right of appeal against the school’s decision.

Appeals are arranged by Leeds City Council and you can find the appeal form and information at: School appeals (leeds.gov.uk)    

The appeal panel is independent of the school and council and the decision is legally binding.  Appeals against a decision for an in-year application can be submitted at any time during the school year.
