Families moving into the area

You should make your application at least six weeks before your move so your application can be processed and any admission arrangements made. This is very important if the move will mean that your child cannot continue to attend their current school because of the distance of the move.

You may want to ask the school or Knowsley School Admissions Service about availability. Some schools may be fully subscribed in some year groups and not be able to offer a place.

If you have moved into a Knowsley address and your child does not have a current school place (for example, if you have moved from another country) and you are having difficulty securing a school place, please contact the school admissions service in the Local Authority.
