Admissions FAQ
What are the different types of admissions?
There are two different types of admissions – those to start school at the ‘normal’ time for the start of the FS2, and those for places in other year groups or at any other time – these are called ‘in-year’ applications for school places. In-year applications are made for example when a child is already attending one school and the parent/carers wish to move their child from one school to another, and when a family moves to a different area and needs a new school place for their child(ren).
I’ve been offered a place in FS2 for September. What do I need to do?
Congratulations and welcome to the family! All you need to do is ring us to confirm the place and we’ll book a home visit with our friendly staff!
How Do I Apply for a Place?
If you are looking for a place for your child to start FS2 in September, then use this link provided by Barnsley LA. If your child is currently at another school, you’ll just need to complete a ‘Transfer Form’ and have your child’s current school complete their part and then send it to admissions. Transfer forms are available here.
I Don’t Live in Barnsley – Can I Still Apply For a Place?
Absolutely! The process is just a little different. You’ll need to speak to your current local authority and complete their application/ transfer form.
What Happens Once I Have Accepted a Place?
Our Wellbeing Manager, will be in touch to arrange a home visit. This is a change for you and your child to meet our staff and talk in a little more detail, fill out all the required forms and ask any questions. Everything will be in place to make your start at Kings Oak the best that it can be!
