You can make an in-year application if your child needs to join a school outside of the normal admissions round - for example, if you move house and your child can no longer attend their current school.

If you want to apply for an In-Year admission to St Peter's Catholic Primary School, you need to complete:

1. A School Managed Application form for In-Year admission to a school (SMA)

• The SMA Application Form can be found here.
• You MUST return the SMA Application Form to the school, addressed to: Mrs Alison Cardy, Admissions Officer, St Peter's Catholic Primary School, Leatherhead KT22 7JN or by email to: office@stpeters-leatherhead.surrey.sch.uk
• Guidance notes to help you complete the SMA Application Form are available here.

2. The School’s Supplementary Information Form (SIF)

• The SIF is available at the bottom of this page. Please make sure you use the form for 2023-24
• You MUST return the Supplementary Information Form to the school addressed to: Mrs Alison Cardy, Admissions Officer, St Peter's Catholic Primary School, Leatherhead KT22 7JN or by email to: office@stpeters-leatherhead.surrey.sch.uk

The governing body is the admissions' authority for St Peter's Catholic Primary School and has responsibility for admissions to the school, including setting the priority of admissions when the school is oversubscribed. St Peter's Catholic Primary School will consider whether it has any vacancies and if so, assess whether it is able to offer a place. The school will contact you to let you know the outcome of your application.

Upon receipt of an In Year application, the school will aim to notify parents of the outcome of the application in writing within 10 school days. However, it might take up to 15 school days. You must respond to any offer of a place within two weeks.

If you are refused a place at any school you applied for, you have the right to make an appeal to an independent appeal panel. Where an application is refused, the school will set out the reason for refusal.

For applications for In Year Admissions, appeals must be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged. If parents wish to appeal, they must set out the grounds for appeal in writing.

Where an applicant is offered a school place following an in-year application, and the offer is accepted, arrangements should be made for the child to start school as soon as possible, particularly where the child is out of school.

If your child is not offered a place, you can add their name to a waiting list. Waiting lists are ranked according to each school’s admission criteria. Your child’s position on a waiting list may go down as well as up, for example, if other children with greater priority according to the school’s admission criteria are added to the list.

The Published Admission Number (PAN) for all year groups is 60.
