Havering Admissions Infant to Junior School Transfer Process

Please ensure that you complete your application before the deadline of 15 January 2023.
Failure to apply could mean that your child cannot transfer to the linked junior school.

The law states that first priority for school places must be given to Looked After Children and Previously Looked After Children. In Havering all community (and majority of academy) junior schools give second priority to pupils transferring from the linked infant school. If you are applying for a junior school you are advised to check the admissions criteria before applying.
