Moving or changing to a school in Swindon
Make your application
If a school you are applying for requires a supplementary form or a Baptismal Certificate, you must submit this directly to the school.
Before you make your application you should:
- understand how the process works
- read about things you should consider before making an in-year application
- read the Swindon school admissions privacy notice
If you are applying because you are moving home
You will need to provide proof of a confirmed address in the form of a signed tenancy agreement, or solicitor’s letter confirming exchange of contracts.
If you don’t have this, we will consider your application using your current address. As soon as you have proof, you should send this to us. If we are unable to offer any of your preferences, we cannot offer an alternative school place unless you have a confirmed Swindon address.
If you have submitted an application and have since moved address
If you have previously submitted an In-Year Transfer and are on the waiting list for your preferred schools, but have since moved home address, you must notify School Admissions of this, alongside any other department within the Council.
If you do not notify School Admissions via email at SchoolAdmissions@swindon.gov.uk, your application will continue to be considered in the address we hold on the system.
You can only apply for schools in Swindon Borough Council's area.
You cannot use this system to apply for In-Year Transfers to schools in another authority, or for the following schools:
- Abbey Farm Educate Together
- Holy Cross Catholic Primary School
- Holy Family Catholic Primary School
- Holy Rood Catholic Primary School
- St Catherines Catholic Primary School
- St Joseph’s Catholic College
- St Marys Catholic Primary School
To apply for any of the above schools, please contact the school directly for In-Year transfers. Application forms for the above schools can be found on the schools website.
