In Year Admissions to Reception Year One or Year Two

Cornwall Council is responsible for coordinating in-year admissions for all state-funded schools in Cornwall, which includes academies.  An ‘in-year application' is made to change schools during the school year - i.e. not at the normal points of entry (starting in reception, transferring from infant school to junior school or transferring to year seven in a secondary school). You might make an application if you are moving into or out of Cornwall or moving within Cornwall.  You might make an application to change schools even if you are not moving house.

You can apply for a change of school up to eight school weeks in advance of a school place being required (twelve weeks for service families).  Applications will not be processed outside these timescales.
