Education for Ukrainians

Print page

Ukrainian refugee children of school age are entitled to school places.

School places must be applied for through Cornwall Council in the usual way. Parents/carers or hosts will typically need to apply for places on the Changing Schools In-year page.

Please indicate on the application form:

if you arrived through Homes for Ukraine
or arriving to be with family/friends
any other relevant information, including education support needs

If the child is currently in Year 6, you'll also need to submit an application for a secondary school place in September.

If you need any help with your application please email schooladmissions@cornwall.gov.uk

School admissions

Useful resources

To support refugees from Ukraine and those children displaced by the conflict, the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science (MoES) has published the Ukrainian curriculum. This contains educational materials and other useful information.

Resources can be used to compliment pupils’ education. For example, for use at home or in supplementary schools. These should not be used to substitute for a schools’ usual curriculum.

Adult education

Following your arrival in the UK, you are expected to spend up to 8 hours per week learning English for 12 months. You can choose to continue studying after this and we would fully recommend doing so. In some circumstances, lack of participation in English language learning may affect your eligibility for certain benefits.
