Transferring between Primary Schools
Bolton Council is responsible for coordinating admissions into all schools for those families resident within the Bolton Metropolitan Borough. This includes
- Children wishing to change from one school to another school within the borough
- Children who have arrived in the borough requiring a school place
- Children wishing to move from an independent school to a school maintained by the Council
- Children resident in the borough but requiring admission to a school in another borough
If you live in the area of another local authority then you must make an application through the school admission team for that authority
Is there an application form I need to complete?
The application form that the parents/carers will be required to complete when requesting admission to a new school can be found here and the notes of guidance here.
You must ensure your child’s continued attendance at their current school whilst your application is being considered however it is recognised that for families who have moved into Bolton, this may not always be possible. You must in such circumstances inform the headteacher at their previous school of the arrangements you are making.
Please see our most recent admissions policy below to find all the information you need to secure a place for your child at St Peter’s Smithills Dean. If you require any further knowledge or would like to come and have a tour of our school, please get in touch with the school office at 01204 333500 or email the school office at office@spsd.bolton.sch.uk
