To apply, you will need to complete an In-Year Common Application Form (ICAF) for the local authority in order to be eligible for a place if a vacancy occurs. The form and more information about the process is available from www.bradford.gov.uk/education-... or you can request for a form to be sent to you by e-mailing: schooladmissions@bradford.gov.uk or by telephoning 01274 439200.
If a vacancy does occur, we will look at the local authority waiting list and prioritise children in accordance with the oversubscription criteria (see In-Year Guidance document in the Downloads section below).
