How to apply for an in-year place (at any time of year)

If you have recently moved into the area and would like to apply to come to Lime Tree, you will need to make an In-Year application to School Admissions.

If your child is already in school and you're considering transferring him or her to another school, you should discuss it with the Headteacher of your child's current school before making an application.  

A child's education usually benefits most when they have continuity of teaching and learning in the same school. So we need your child's Headteacher to know your reasons for wanting to transfer your child and have the opportunity to discuss the transfer with you.

You should not withdraw your child from their current school until you have secured a place at an alternative school.
