Secondary school places 

Transferring your child between secondary schools

If your child is already at secondary school in Bolton and you want to transfer to another Bolton secondary school there are two forms you need to complete.  The in year application for secondary school admission needs completing by the parent and the school transfer form needs completing by your child's current school.  When both forms are complete they need to be returned to Pupil and Student Services.  Both forms are available from the downloads tab.

If you live in Bolton and want to transfer your child to a secondary school in another area you need to complete the in year application form.  You do not need to get your child's current school to complete the school transfer form.  When the form is complete please return to Pupil and Student Services.  The form is available from the downloads tab.
