In-year Applications
If you wish to apply for a place during the school year, this is known as an In‑Year Admission.
Applications must be made directly to the school using the in-year application form that can be found below. Paper copies are available on request.
Completed in-year application forms along with proof of your address* and proof of age for your child** should be submitted to admissions@chosen-hill.gloucs.sch.uk
*Please note - we can only accept a copy of a utility bill or council tax bill as proof of your address.
**Please note - we can only accept a copy of your child's birth certificate or passport as proof of age.
You will be notified of the outcome of your in-year application within 15 school days.
If your application is successful:
You will receive a written offer from the school. The letter will include confirmation of the place offered and the date by which you must accept or decline the offer. We will then contact you to start the admissions process.
Please ensure you respond within the stated timeframe so that the place can be secured. If we do not hear from you, the offer may be withdrawn in line with the School Admissions Code.
If your application is unsuccessful:
As an Own Admission Authority, the Governing Body is responsible for making decisions on applications. If we are unable to offer a place, you will receive a written refusal explaining the reason(s) why.
Appeals
Parents/Carers whose application has been unsuccessful have the right to appeal to an independent Appeals Panel. Appeals will be conducted in accordance with the School Admission Appeals Code.
Parents/Carers whose appeal has been unsuccessful may only apply for a further appeal in the same academic year if there has been a significant or material change in their circumstances.
If you wish to appeal for a place at Chosen Hill School for an in-year admission, please email admissions@chosen-hill.gloucs.sch.uk for further information.
