Transfer to Secondary School Information
Applying for school places can take time and effort. And as a parent, you want to get it right. To make sure everything’s managed fairly, schools and local authorities must follow strict rules. These rules, set out in the School Admissions Code and the School Admission Appeals Code, protect your rights and those of your child. The school transfer advice service (STA) can help you through the admissions process and clear up any confusion about how it works. STA is an impartial service which can support families who need help during the secondary school admissions process. School Transfer Advisors can help you make your choice, but cannot make decisions for you.
School Transfer Advice Service (STA)
We can help you make an informed choice by:
- Explaining the admissions process.
- Helping you complete forms.
- Helping you decide what is most important when choosing a preferred school.
- Supporting you to get the most out of a school visit.
- Helping you find and understand other information about secondary schools in Northamptonshire and neighbouring counties.
Call our helpline number 0845 2415552 for impartial advice and support.
