For ‘in-year’ admissions (when you are moving within an academic year) and you are applying from overseas

At Norman Street we have lots of children who move to our school from outside of the UK. Most children from overseas are entitled to a state education.
When dealing with an application for a child who is not a UK national, the Local Authority must comply with the school admission code.
The School Admission Code states at section 2.19 that Admission authorities must treat applications for children coming from overseas in accordance with European Union law or Home Office rules for non-European Economic Area nationals.

For admissions into Norman Street Primary School Reception

Please click on the following link to access the Cumberland Council information which explains the steps you need to take if you would like to join Norman Street Primary School for your child in their Reception year:

If you live outside Cumbria, you need to apply through your own Local Authority, even if you want to apply for a place at Norman Street Primary School. You must confirm that you have read the booklet on the Cumberland Council website and provided accurate information before submitting your application.

Families who are not offered a place at their preferred school or schools are given the right of appeal to an independent school admission appeals panel. If this happens to you, the relevant admissions authority will send you a letter that will give you further information and will explain what to do next, including the deadline for appealing (if you want your appeal to be heard along with all of the other appeals for that school) and who to contact.
