The In-Year school transfer application form is available at: www.gateshead.gov.uk/in-year-transfers

If you have already completed an in-year transfer form, we will contact you once a response is received from the schools requested.  Schools have 10 school days to respond to a request from the date they receive the form (this does not include school holidays). Please be patient, there is no need to contact us for an update on your request as we will contact you as soon as a response is received.  

Thank you
