Primary School In-Year Admission
In-year admission applications for Knowsley primary schools should be submitted directly to the school/s you wish to apply to – you will need to complete a separate application form for each child and for each school you apply to.
You can download an in-year application form to apply for a place in a Knowsley primary school below.
Alternatively, you can contact or visit the school office to request an in-year application form, or request one is sent to you by post by contacting the school admissions team.
Once you have submitted your application, you should expect to receive an outcome within 15 school days.
If a place can be offered and you accept it, the school will agree on a start date with you and provide any other admission information.
It is expected that your child will be able to start within a reasonable timeframe, and places will not normally be held for more than 4-6 school weeks (20-30 school days) or beyond the start of the next term, as this could disadvantage other applicants.
If a place cannot be offered, you will be told the reason why, and you will be given the option to appeal against the decision to refuse a place to an independent appeal panel. You may also request that your child’s name be added to a waiting list.
Remember! An enquiry is not an application – you must complete an application form to receive a formal offer, have a right of appeal, or be on a waiting list.
If you submit multiple applications to different Knowsley primary schools or to schools in other areas and are offered more than one place, you should inform the school (s) where a place is not required immediately, as other applicants may need these places.
