Rejection letter - in-year admissions
Any parent can apply for a place for their child at any time to any school outside the normal
admissions round.
For in-year applications (from September onwards), parents must apply directly to the
Academy for a place, as the Academy is its own admissions authority. The Local Authority
will provide the parents with information about in-year applications and a suitable application
form, but the application should be sent directly to the Academy.
On receipt of an in-year application, the Academy must notify the Local Authority of both the
application and its outcome.
