Mid-Year Admissions

If you are interested in making a mid-year application, please contact the Admissions Office of 02392 612020 or by email office@cowplainschool.co.uk.  You can apply for an in-year place up to four weeks before the place is needed.  Applications are made through Hampshire County Council Admissions department and processed by The Cowplain School and we will respond in writing no later than 15 schools days following receipt of the completed application form from Hampshire County Council.  You can apply via this link.

If you are offered a place, we will contact you to make arrangements for a meeting and to discuss a provisional start date for your child.

If you are refused a place due to the year group being full, your child will be added to the waiting list.

Waiting List

Waiting lists will be established for each year group where more applications are received than places available and will be operated by The Cowplain School.

Any places that become available will be offered to the child at the top of the list as soon as the place becomes available.  The waiting list is ordered according to the criteria of the admission policy with no account being taken of the length of time on the waiting list.  The waiting list will be reviewed and revised each time a child is added or removed from the waiting list or when a child’s circumstances have changed affecting their priority.

Waiting list will remain open from 1 September until 31 August of each year.
