If your child attends an Oldham school but you live outside of Oldham, you can still apply for a school place in Oldham, but you must do this through your local authority, not Oldham Council.
Here's a summary of the necessary steps and information based on your situation:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Apply through your own local authority's admissions process. |
| 2 | When applying online, select the Oldham school by changing the local authority from the drop-down menu. |
| 3 | If your application is refused, you have the right to appeal the decision. |
| 4 | If you need assistance, you can contact Oldham Council at 0161 770 4213 for guidance on local authorities. |
It's important to note that applications from non-Oldham residents are treated the same as those from Oldham residents, so your child won't be at a disadvantage. For more details on how to apply, you can check the Oldham admissions page.
