How to Apply for a Primary School Place

Parents of children resident in Derbyshire MUST apply via Derbyshire Authority. However, for a looked after child, the application must be submitted by the social worker via the Local Authority responsible for the child’s care rather than the foster carer. Derbyshire Authority operates an online admissions service to enable parents to submit an application for their preferred school(s) via the Authority’s website: https://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/education/schools/school-places/apply-for-a-school-place.aspx

In-year Admissions

Transferring school during the School Year Any application for an in-year school transfer should be made via the Local Authority Admissions Team in the first instance.
