Year 10 and 11 admissions
Can my child move school during year 10 and 11?
Year 10 and 11 are very important in a child's education and transferring your child may not be the best option.
If you are moving into Bolton and you can't keep your child in their current school, you should apply for a school place as soon as you know you are moving.
If your child is already in a Bolton school please discuss the reasons for the change of school with your current head teacher - we will contact your child's school to make sure this discussion has taken place. Things to consider include:
- Availability of places in the school you wish your child to attend.
- The options available to your child may not be the same as in their current school.
- The option groups for the courses your child is studying may be full.
- The examination boards that the school uses may not be the same as those used at their current school.
If you can't match the options your child is currently studying, changing school at this stage may significantly reduce their chances of gaining qualifications. Please discuss this with the headteacher of your current school and only proceed with the application if absolutely necessary.
