To apply for a school place in Hounslow, you need to make the right type of application for your child’s age and situation. Hounslow says the key thing is to check which application you should use first, then submit the relevant school admissions application online.
| Situation | What Hounslow says to do | Link |
|---|---|---|
| You’re applying for a place during the school year, or you’re new to the area / new or returning to the UK | Make an in-year application | In-year school admissions |
| You’re not sure which application to use | Check which application you should use for your child at their age | School admissions |
| You’re changing schools | Discuss it with your child’s current school first, then make an in-year application if you still need to request a move | In-year school admissions |
Hounslow also advises that you should not withdraw your child from their current school until a place elsewhere is confirmed. If your child is new to or returning to the UK, Hounslow says you should make sure they have the right to access a state-funded school, and you may need to support the application with evidence depending on your circumstances.
