# Admission Arrangements

#### All requests for admissions into Reception are dealt with by the Schools Admissions Department at Sunderland City Council.

Admissions are made online via  <https://www.sunderland.gov.uk/schools-admissions-infant-junior-primary>**

Transfer applications can be made online via **<https://www.sunderland.gov.uk/school-transfers>**

Deadlines for admissions vary from year to year and prospective parents need to check the closing date. Children are usually admitted to school in the September of the academic year in which their fifth birthday falls.  Below is the statement about how places are allocated.

**All other places higher up the school or in year transfers are dealt with by application to the school directly using the following form:**
