In-Year Transfers

If transferring schools, applications should be sent to School Admissions at the Local Authority using a CA1 Form (see link below). The application form for an in-year transfer to a Worcestershire school is an editable form so you can complete it and save it on your own device and then return it to School Admissions via online application or email to schooladmissions@worcschildrenfirst.org.uk. 

You also need to arrange for an education history form (Word) to be completed by your child’s current or most recent school. The education history form can then be uploaded with your online application. More information on in-year applications can be found in the existing year groups booklet for parents/carers.

If you wish to visit the school prior to making an application, please contact the school office by email at spoffice@rivers cofe.co.uk or by telephone on 01905 772138.
