Apply to change school during the academic year (in-year transfer)

Applications for September entry

If you wish your child to move school to start in September 2024 you can make an application from 7 May 2024.

When we receive your application, including evidence, will affect when we send an outcome.

If you are moving into Buckinghamshire

You will need to provide evidence of your move, before we can consider your application. The evidence must show the date of your move to Buckinghamshire.

We will not use your new address until the date you become a Buckinghamshire resident, this may mean in some cases that we are unable to offer a school place until you have provided us with further evidence that have moved.
