Uley Admissions Criteria September 2028
Applying for a school place during the school year
If you move to the area during the school year or your child needs to move school for other reasons, you will need to apply for a school place by contacting us at Uley School directly.
You will need to complete an in-year-application-form.docx for each child. This can then be emailed to admin@uley.gloucs.sch.uk, posted or brought in to school.
We aim to respond to all In-year admissions with 10 school days.
If You Are Offered a Place
If your application is successful, you will receive a written offer from the school. The letter will include:
- confirmation of the place offered,
- the date by which you must accept or decline the offer,
- any next steps required (such as completing admission forms or arranging a start date).
Please ensure you respond within the stated timeframe so that the place can be secured. If we do not hear from you, the offer may be withdrawn in line with the School Admissions Code.
If Your Application Is Unsuccessful
If we are unable to offer a place, you will receive a written refusal explaining the reason(s) why.
Your Right to Appeal
If your child is refused a place, you have the legal right to appeal the decision to an Independent Appeals Panel.
For Community Schools, Gloucestershire County Council manages the appeals process.
The school will:
- notify you of the refusal, -
- provide information on how to lodge an appeal.
GCC will:
- arrange the Independent Appeals Panel, -
- provide the timetable and process for hearings.
Appeals are completely independent of the school and the Governing Body.
