Should you wish to change schools, or you are moving into the area, and you would like Bishops Cannings to be the school to which you send your child, you will need to apply for a place through the local authority. We would recommend that you arrange a visit to us if wish your child to change school. Please be aware that we will contact the school you are moving from to assist in the transition process.

Can I appeal if I do not get the place for my child that I requested?
Adults with parental responsibility for applying for a school place can appeal if they do not receive their first choice of school. In the first instance, the school where you wish your child to go should be contacted in writing by using Parental Appeal Form 1 and Parental Appeal Form 2. All correspondence should be addressed to the Clerk of Governors using the school address. The appeals timetable can be downloaded here. Please note that if you do not stick to the timetable then your appeal cannot be heard.
