Mid-Year Applications for Admission

If you are looking to apply for a school place for your child during the school year, you can do this quickly and easily online through Barnsley Council’s website. Mid-year applications are managed directly by the council, who will process your request and check availability at our school. If there is a space available in the requested year group, Barnsley Council will notify you, and a member of our school team will then get in touch to guide you through the next steps.

If you wish to make an appeal to an admission decision by the school please see guidance below.
