In-Year admissions

In-Year Admissions 2024/25

If you would like to change schools, or if you are moving into the area for example, you can apply for a school transfer by making an in-year application.

An in-year application is for the admission of a child to Y7 if submitted on or after the first day of the first school term of the admission year; or it is for the admission of a child to any other age group at any time.

Red Kite Learning Trust and its Harrogate schools are part of the North Yorkshire Council co-ordinated in-year admissions scheme.
