Changing school

If your child is already attending a primary school and you wish to move to Lift Westerings, read ECC's information on moving to a different school.

All mid-year applications should be made directly to the school using the Lift Westerings mid-year application form.

Please remember to include proof of your new address which must be:

  • a copy of a signed tenancy agreement if you are renting
  • a solicitor’s letter confirming you have exchanged contracts if you are purchasing your new home

Your child is not guaranteed a place at your preferred school. You should not remove your child from their school before you have received another offer.

We recommend that you:

  • speak to your child's current teacher or headteacher before applying to another school
  • contact the schools you are interested in before making a decision to move house or submit an application

In-year admissions

In-year admissions are applications made outside the normal round of admissions. The school will coordinate its own in-year admissions and an application for in-year admission should be made directly to the school.  On receipt of an in-year application, the school will notify the Local Authority of the application and its outcome, to allow the Local Authority to keep up to date with figures on the availability of school places within the authority.
