Transferring to a new school or academy

What you need to provide with your transfer application, and the transfer processes to junior, middle, high school, upper school and a studio school.

Before you transfer

You will need to complete a supplementary form if you are applying for a school place at:

  • Cardinal Newman Catholic School
  • Wenlock CofE Academy
  • Sacred Heart Primary School
  • St Margaret of Scotland Primary School
  • St Martin de Porres Primary School

Supplementary forms can be found from the relevant school.

Late applications and changes of preference will not be considered in the initial allocation of places.

Religious schools

You will also need to provide your child's original Baptismal Certificate and Certificate of Practice or Certificate of Reception or First Holy Communion Certificate for applications for:

  • Cardinal Newman Catholic School
  • Sacred Heart Primary School
  • St Josephs Primary School
  • St Margaret of Scotland Primary School
  • St Martin de Porres Pimary School

The completed supplementary form (where relevant) and the Certificate of Practice or Certificate of Reception must be handed directly to the relevant school's reception by the transfer or admissions round closing date. You must provide these documents even if you have previously provided them to the school.

If you are submitting the form to change your preferences

If you are submitting the form to change your preference(s) and we are able to allocate one of the schools you have stated on your form, the school your child was originally allocated will immediately be withdrawn and re-allocated to another child.
