In-Year applications to Beacon Hill Primary School

Thank you for considering Beacon Hill Primary School for your child’s education. If you are looking to transfer your child outside of the regular admission cycle, we welcome In-Year applications.

Beacon Hill is an Academy, and the Weydon Multi Academy Trust (WMAT) is the Admissions Authority responsible for admissions, waiting lists, and allocating places.

When can you apply; You can apply for an In-Year place if:

• You're moving house and your child can no longer attend their current school.

• Your child is being home-educated, and you'd like them to attend a mainstream school.

• You wish to move your child to a different school while they are already enrolled.

You can apply up to four weeks in advance of when you need the place. If you're a member of the Armed Forces or Crown Servants relocating, you can apply up to four months in advance.

For children seeking a place from the start of the autumn term, applications can be submitted from July.

How to apply; Applications can be made via:

• Online Application: Use the In-Year Online Portal (link below).

Required Documents:

• 2 types of proof of residency

Important information

• Response to Offers: You must respond to any offer within two weeks. If you don’t respond in time, the offer may be withdrawn.

• School Start Date: Your child can start within 10 school days of accepting the offer. If deferral is needed, the latest start date is usually at the beginning of the next half-term.

• Waiting Lists: If a place isn’t available, your child will be added to the waiting list, ranked according to our Admission Policy. Waiting lists reset at the end of each academic year, so a new application will be needed for the following year.

If you don’t receive an offer, you have the right to appeal. More details about the appeals process are available on our website.

Beacon Hill Primary School is proudly part of the Weydon Multi Academy Trust (WMAT), which enables us to benefit from shared resources, expertise, and opportunities for both staff and students.
