What is an in year transfer?

If your child is at primary school and you want to move them to a different school during the school year, you need to apply. This is called a mid-term or in-year transfer.

We have lots of families that do this every year as they have moved to the area or they are looking for a better educational experience for their child. 

What happens?

We always advise to come and look around the school. This way we can answer any questions you may have. Please contact the school office to arrange a visit. Once you have looked around the school the Office Manager is able to help you with the next steps needed to transfer to Richard Hill.

Changing school during term time - in year transfers

For midterm transfers, please apply via the Learn Academies Trust admissions portal at apply.learnat.uk. The school no longer processes midterm admissions through the Local Authority. If you have any questions or require assistance with your application, please contact the school office.

We fully participate in the Local Authority's coordinated admissions scheme. As per the School Admissions Code, all admitting authorities must aim to inform parents of their decision within 10 school days, and it is mandatory that a decision is communicated within 15 school days.

 

If you need any support with this, please contact the school office@ric.learnat.uk or 01162340212

Transition

We are able to support a range of ways to support your child starting with us. Every families offer is bespoke depending on if you want trial sessions or a move as soon as possible we can facilitate the families preference. 

We look forward to welcoming you!
