In-Year Admission Arrangements
St Paul’s CofE Primary School is committed to an open, straightforward, fair and transparent admissions arrangement. The School acts fully in accordance with its legal responsibilities as outlined in the School Admissions Code.
Parents may sometimes need to make an in-year application for a school place if their child needs to join a school outside the normal admissions round - for example, when moving house into a new area where it is no longer feasible for their child to travel to their current school. This is subject to places being available for children up to the age of 11.
This is called an in-year application and does not need to be done via Surrey Admissions, but should be made directly with us. Applications are managed by our school and we will offer or decline a place directly with families.
Please contact the school if you would like any of this information, including the application form(s), in a hard copy format.
