Who can make an in year school (change schools during the year) application
By law, children aged between 5 and 16 must receive an education. This means that if your child is not in a school you must apply for a school or tell the local authority what alternative arrangements you are making for their education.
If you want to transfer between schools or apply for a school place during an academic year, you must submit an in-year admission application.
This guidance is for making an in-year admission application if:
- You have moved within Slough and would like to change to a more local school
- You have moved to Slough either from another part of the country or from abroad
- You wish to move from home education to school education
- You wish to move from a fee-paying school to a state funded school
- You wish to change schools
