St Colman's High & Sixth Form College

Mid-Year Transfer to St Colman’s

Thinking of transferring to St Colman’s during the school year?

We understand that families may need to move schools for various reasons. At St Colman’s High & Sixth Form College, we consider in-year applications (for Years 8–14) where space permits. However, most of our year groups are currently full, and we do not operate a waiting list.

📌 Important:

Please note we cannot process or consider any request without a fully completed AP1 form. We do not accept verbal or informal applications.

While parents/guardians may wish to submit an application (via the AP1 Transfer Form) for transfer from another post-primary school to St Colman’s High & Sixth Form College, it is highly unlikely that this application will be approved.

To apply for a place:

  1. Download and complete an AP1 Form

  2. Email it to: info@stcolmanshs.org

  3. Wait for our team to confirm receipt and review availability

We Prioritise Applications In the Following Order:

  1. Sibling Link

    • Applications where the child has a brother or sister currently enrolled at St Colman’s.

  2. Recent House Move – Unplaced Student

    • Families who have recently moved into the area and whose child is not currently enrolled in any local school.

    • These applications will be considered only where the child is currently without a school place.

  3. All Other Applications

    • This includes:

      • House moves within the local area where the student is already placed in another school.

      • Requests for transfer based on preference, educational/pastoral reasons, or other circumstances.
