In-Year (Non-Routine) Admissions

It sometimes happens that a child needs to change school other than at the ‘normal’ time; such admissions are known as in-year or non-routine admissions. Children can be admitted to any class during the school year if there is a vacancy.

Further information, including application form can be found here Changing Schools (In-year transfers)

We encourage all parents to book an appointment to come and view our school prior to application.   Please contact the school office 0161 633 1578 or e-mail info@thornhamstjames.oldham.sch.uk  to arrange the visit or with any questions or queries you may have.
