In-Year Admissions

If you’re moving into Stoke-on-Trent or want to change schools in Stoke-on-Trent, you need to make a school transfer – often called an in-year application.  In-Year Admissions for all year groups will be dealt with in accordance with our admissions policy.  Please click on the link below to see the policy.  Applications must be made in writing to the Academy using a form obtainable from Reception. 

If the transfer request is not related to a change of address, the form must be signed by the child’s present Headteacher.  Governors will take each admission on an individual basis; a place will be allocated providing it does not prejudice the education of others.

You will be notified by us of the outcome of your application, as well as details about the right to appeal if your child is refused a place.  If we cannot offer you a place, we will

  • write to you to explain the reasons, within 15 days of your application.
  • explain how you can appeal and
  • add your child to our waiting list in case a place becomes free.

Our waiting lists are kept until end of each school year. You will need to make a new application if you want to be on the waiting list for the following school year.

For more information on our oversubscription policy and the criteria that determine who will be accepted, please see the Admissions Policy attached at the bottom of this page.

Appeals

If you are not offered a place at our Academy, you have the right to appeal to an independent panel. Trentham Academy uses the Local Authority appeals service.
