Transferring your child to a different school during the school year.
THIS APPLIES TO SCHOOL ADMISSIONS ONLY
Important dates for In-Year school admissions
• The last day you can submit an In-Year Admission application for the current academic year is Tuesday 30th June 2026.
• For the 2026/27 academic year, the parent portal will re -open on Monday 20th July 2026
• If your child is without a school place during this period you'll need to contact the school admission team on schooladmissions@lewisham.gov.uk to discuss your application.
It may not be possible to make September allocations over the summer after the schools have closed.
This is for one or more of the following reasons:
• the school you have applied for is an admission authority school and we cannot offer places until they return in September.
• a vacancy cannot be confirmed until September, when the school returns and leavers are verified.
• you have not provided Section 9 of the in-year application form and we must wait for further information from your child's previous school.
If you are using this online application for the first time you will need to create an account.
