In-year admissions (change schools during the year)

Citizen Portal notice of closure

Citizen Portal for in-year school applications will be closed from 13 July 2026 to 10 August 2026.

Some primary schools in Slough take part in the council’s in-year co-ordination scheme. Others manage their own in-year applications.

Changing your child's school

An in-year admission is when you apply for a school place outside the normal admissions round, for a child who is already expected to be attending school.

You would normally make an in-year application if you:

  • have recently moved to Slough
  • have just arrived in Slough
  • wish to move from home education to school education
  • wish to move from a fee-paying school to a state-funded school
  • wish to transfer your child to another school within Slough.

If this is the case you must:

  1. complete an in-year application form via our Citizen Portal
  2. upload the correct proof with your application - details of supporting document required.

Please note: if you want a school place outside Slough, please contact the local authority in which the school is located.
