Apply for an in-year place

Before you apply

Before you apply we encourage you to:

• read the in-year guide to normal round admissions for the type of school you are applying to
• find out what different schools have to offer your child
• if possible, visit schools you are interested in
• know which school is designated for your child’s address
• be aware of the school transport policy – it is important that you understand who will be responsible for transport before applying to a school and before accepting a place
• find out whether the school you would like asks for applications directly to them rather than through us.

You can apply for any state-funded school in Devon.

You cannot apply for a school outside of Devon or a private school. If you would like a place at any school other than a Devon state-funded school, you must contact the school or relevant local authority directly.

You can apply at any time of year but please be aware that the application will not be processed further in advance than 8 school weeks (or 16 school weeks for children from UK service personnel families).

The Admissions team can be contacted at admissions@devon.gov.uk.
