In-Year Admissions – Join us at anytime

If your child needs to join us outside of the normal admissions round, you can apply for an In-Year Admission.

You can apply if:

• You are moving house, and your child cannot continue at their current school.
• Your child has been home-schooled, and you now want them to attend a mainstream school.
• Your child is currently at another school, but you wish to transfer them to Eggars.

When to apply

• Up to 4 weeks before the place is needed.
• Armed Forces & Crown Servants relocating to the area can apply up to 4 months in advance.
• For September starts, applications open in early July.

Application process

You can apply via Hampshire County Council’s In-Year Admissions website:
Hampshire In-Year Admissions

Please do not withdraw your child from their current school until you have secured a place elsewhere.

Additional requirements

The person applying must have parental responsibility for the child. If unsure, include a covering letter explaining your situation; please also attach/upload two proofs of residency.

If applicable, include supporting documents (e.g., medical, or social reasons for school transfer).

What happens next?

• Processing Time: We aim to process applications and notify you within 15 school days.
• Accepting a Place: If your child is offered a place, you must accept it within two weeks, or the offer may be withdrawn.
• Starting at Eggars: Your child will usually start within 10 school days of accepting the place. If a delay is needed, the longest deferral is normally until the next half term.

If we cannot offer a place

• Your child will be added to our waiting list, ranked according to our Admissions Policy.
• Positions on the list may move up or down depending on new applicants with higher priority.
• Waiting lists reset at the end of each academic year, so if you still want a place the following year, you will need to reapply.

• If your application is unsuccessful, you have the right to appeal - see our website for appeals details.

  All applications and offers are shared with Local Authority Admissions.
