Admissions
Oatlands Junior School, part of Red Kite Learning Trust, takes pupils from the ages of 7 to11. There are twelve classes. The school has a set pupil admission number of 30 per class (90 for a year group).
How to apply
Parents and carers may apply at any time for an in-year school place. Application forms are provided and processed by North Yorkshire County Council.
You can apply for a place online using the North Yorkshire County Council in-year application form at: Changing schools and in year applications | North Yorkshire County Council
If you have moved to a new house, please upload evidence of the move with the online application.
Parents and carers will be notified in writing by North Yorkshire County Council of the school’s decision. This will be within 15 school days of your in-year application being received.
If the school is unable to offer a place, you may request for your child’s name to be added to the school’s waiting list, which will remain open until the end of December 2022. Where a place becomes available, this will be offered from the waiting list, based on the oversubscription criteria within the school’s admissions policy.
In-year applications (1 November 2021 to 31 August 2022)
If you would like to change schools, or if you are moving into the area for example, you can apply for a school transfer, by making an in-year application.
The Red Kite Learning Trust and its Harrogate schools are part of the North Yorkshire County Council In-Year Co-ordination Scheme.
Appeals
If your in-year application is unsuccessful, you will have the right of appeal against the school’s decision.
The appeal panel is independent of the school and council and the decision is legally binding. Appeals against a decision for an in-year application can be submitted at any time during the school year.
