Admissions to Reception (Normal Admission Round)
If your child is starting school for the first time, applications for places are made by completing an electronic application form, which is available from Stockton Borough Council. Detailed information about the admissions process can be found in our Admissions Policy and on the Council website Introduction to applying for a school place - https://www.stockton.gov.uk/apply-primary. Their website also includes information about the appeals process and the in-year transfer of pupils between schools.
In Year Admissions
Applications for an in-year admission must be made on the Trust’s In-Year Admission Form which can be found here – https://bhcet.org.uk/admissions
Further information and guidance regarding in-year admissions can be found in the Trust’s In-Year Admission Policy here – https://bhcet.org.uk/admissions
If you feel that there are exceptional medical, social or pastoral reasons associated with your child and/or family which support admission to a particular school you must indicate that this is the case on your admission application. Please see the further guidance available on the Trust website here - https://bhcet.org.uk/admissions
Where there are places available but more applications than places, the published over subscription criteria, as set out in the admission arrangements, will be applied. Please see the school admission policy on this page for information on admission arrangements. Parents are advised to read the admission arrangements carefully before making their application.
You have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel if your application is unsuccessful. Please email governance@bhcet.org.uk for further advice and guidance.
