In Year Admissions
Rye Community Primary opts into the Local Authority's co-ordinated in-year admissions scheme. It is important you contact us in the first instance to discuss any potential move.
Parents may apply for in-year places via either ESCC or direct to the Admissions Officer at the academy. Further details of the in-year process and the Application Form are available here for ESCC or from the academy (please email office@ryeprimary.co.uk).
In the normal admissions round or at any point in the normal year of entry, if a place is available and there is no waiting list, the child will be admitted [except where the “twice excluded” rule applies].
For in-year applications received for all other year groups, if a place is available and there is no waiting list, the child will be admitted subject to the admission authority being able to refuse admission if it has good reason to believe that the child may display challenging behaviour and thus refer the child to the Fair Access Protocol.
Before applying, important information about In Year Admissions can be found on East Sussex’s website: Applying for a place during the school year.
The Trust Board, as the Admission Authority, delegate the admission decision to the Academy’s Advisory Council (AAC). We aim to process requests within 10 school days.
