Secondary School Admissions - how the process works

Applications to transfer to secondary school are co-ordinated by the Local Authority in which you live. Each year when children enter Year 6 they will receive an application to apply to transfer to secondary school into Year 7. If your child is in an independent school you must contact your Local Authority during the summer before your child enters Year 6 to register to receive this form. The closing date each year for these forms to be returned is the 31 October and offer letters are posted to parents on the following 1 March.

Moving into Bracknell Forest?

If you have recently moved or are moving into the Bracknell Forest area, have proof of your new address and would like to apply for a school place, you will need to complete an In Year Application Form. Please contact the School Admissions Team to obtain an application form, alternatively this can be downloaded from the School Admissions Forms page.. You should do this as a Bracknell Forest resident even if the school you wish to apply for is not a Bracknell Forest School.

If you are moving from abroad you will need to come into the office with your child and bring in any relevant passports and visas before application forms can be processed.

Transferring Schools

If you would like to transfer your child to another school, you will need to complete an In Year Application Form. If you are a Bracknell Forest resident and your child is currently attending a Bracknell Forest school, you must obtain this form from the current head teacher. If you are a Bracknell Forest resident and your child is not currently attending a Bracknell Forest school, please contact the School Admissions Team to obtain an application form, alternatively this can be downloaded from the links below.

Waiting List Applications
For Bracknell Forest schools your child's name will be placed on the waiting list for the academic year for which you have applied. If you wish your child's name to be placed back on the waiting list for the following academic year you can apply after the 30 June. Please contact the Schools Admissions Team to do this.
