If you would like to transfer your child to our school the procedure is now to contact us directly if they are in Year 1 to 6. You can contact us directly in the spring term if you have a Reception child and would like to transfer them. In the autumn term you need to contact the Local Authority as they manage the process in this first term. We have a registering interest form which needs to be completed and returned to us. If we do not have a space you will be placed on our 'waiting list'. We will contact you if a place becomes available. A new application needs to be made each term if you would like to transfer your child to Dovedale.
