Placing Request

Applying for a place outside your catchment area.

Parents and carers can use the placing request online form, to request a school outside of your catchment area. This is called a placing request.

A placing request for a mainstream school will only be granted after places have been given to children living in the catchment area.

Placing Request Form

 

NOTE:

Making a voluntary placing request to a school other than your designated catchment school forfeits entitlement to school transport. Parents/carers are responsible for organising transport in such circumstances themselves.

If a parent wants to make a placing request for their child to go to a different school during a school year, the council has up to two months to make a decision. Where possible, an in-year placing request outcome will be provided sooner than this.
