You can make an ‘in-year application' to change schools or join a school in Cornwall during the school year. In-year applications include joining an existing year group at the start of a new school year.
You can apply at any time during the school year, but no earlier than one school term in advance of the date that the place is required.
Applications received earlier than this will not be processed. You will need to complete a new application form at the appropriate time.
The date your child can start at the new school will need to be agreed between you and the school.
To access the application form you will need to read the information on each page. Start here, then use the 'Next' arrow at the bottom right of each page to progress. Once you have read through each of the pages you will reach the 'Ready to apply' page. You will find the application form there.
Please use the contact details on this page if you need further help, or if you would like to request any information in an alternative format.
Please read the information in each of the steps before submitting your application. This will help you to understand the process.
If you are moving/have moved house, we ask you to provide evidence of your new address. There are more details on the next page.
