In Year Admissions
You can make an in-year application if your child needs to join a school outside of the normal admissions round - for example, if you move house and your child can no longer attend their current school.
If you want to apply for an In-Year admission to St Joseph's Catholic Primary School you will need to complete the following.
The SMA Application Form (as well as guidance on how to complete) is available from the Surrey County Council Website and can be found by clicking the button.
The SIF is available by clicking on the image.
BOTH forms should be completed and returned to the school, addressed to:
Admissions Officer, St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Linkfield Lane, Redhill, RH1 1EA.
Paper Copies of all forms may be requested from the School Office in person.
Who processes your application?
The governing body is the admissions authority for St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and has responsibility for admissions to the school, including setting the priority of admissions when the school is oversubscribed. St Joseph's Catholic Primary School will consider whether it has any vacancies and if so, assess whether it is able to offer a place. The school will contact you to let you know the outcome of your application.
When will parents be notified of the outcome of their application?
Upon receipt of an In Year application, the school will aim to notify parents of the outcome of the application in writing within 10 school days. However, it might take up to 15 school days. You must respond to any offer of a place within two weeks.
The right to appeal
Please see our dedicated page for information regarding appeals.
Other Information
Where an applicant is offered a school place following an in-year application, and the offer is accepted, arrangements should be made for the child to start school as soon as possible, particularly where the child is out of school.
If your child is not offered a place, you can add their name to a waiting list. Waiting lists are ranked according to each school’s admission criteria. Your child’s position on a waiting list may go down as well as up, for example, if other children with greater priority according to the school’s admission criteria are added to the list.
