Primary school admissions - important informationYou can change your preferences up until the closing date, either online or in writing to the admissions team. We will only allow you to change your preferences after the closing date if you have a genuine reason to do so.
We make the decisions about admissions to North Yorkshire community and voluntary-controlled schools, based on the over-subscription criteria. See our school admission policies page. Admissions to voluntary-aided, foundation, trust schools and academies are controlled by their governing bodies. You can get policies for these schools from the school concerned. We do, however, coordinate admissions on their behalf and will make the offer of a place. If you want to apply to a voluntary-aided, foundation, trust school or academy, you should name it as a preference on the online application form. You must check if governors of these schools require extra information by obtaining the school's prospectus. You need to refer to the school's admission policy for their admission criteria. In line with the Government's coordinated admission scheme, all applications for school places need to be made through your home authority. Local authorities will then liaise with each other regarding cross border requests to make sure places are allocated according to the relevant admissions criteria. You can get details of the admission criteria for schools outside North Yorkshire by contacting the authority responsible for admissions to that school. |
