In-Year Admissions

If you wish to apply for a place outside the normal admissions round, for example, if you’re moving into the area or want to change your child’s school during the school year, you’ll need to apply through North Tyneside Council’s in-year admissions process.

You have the right of appeal if you are refused a place.  The deadline for appeals for entry to Reception in September 2026 is 16th May 2026 to enable your appeal to be heard during the Summer Term; appeals received after this date may not be heard until after the summer holidays.  Further information is available on North Tyneside Council’s website.
