Note that the deferred entry form will timeout after 30 minutes. It is therefore recommended that if you have any documents in e.g. MS Word/PDF format etc. to attach to this form. That you prepare them in advance to avoid having to restart the form from the beginning.
This is not an application for a school place
This is not for children looking to remain in their existing school year.
Only summer born children have a possible chance to defer the start of their Reception or Year 7 education.
You must consult with the schools you would like to consider applying for if your request for your child to be educated out of their chronological year group is agreed.
You must contact the schools you are interested in prior to submitting this request form and explain to them your reason(s) for requesting for your child to be educated out of year group.
There is no guarantee that the local authority will also agree to the request and no school is legally obliged to agree to such a request.
Read the government's advice on school admissions for summer-born children before completing this form.
