In-year admission for Year 2 at Deer Park School/ Orleans Primary

[Anthony667]

Hello! I am relocating to Richmond Upm Thames from Hong Kong and hope to apply for a Year 2 spot at Deer Park School. Grateful if parents of the school is able to share if there are openings for the schools. Thank you very much!

Why don't you ask the schools concerned? They will be able to give you the correct answer.

Thanks! Already did but they diverted me to the council website and ask me to apply through there.

You will need to speak directly to the admissions team at the council as the waiting lists are held by them, not the schools. The school will likely let you know if they have a vacancy but not if there are other children already on the WL.
We are moving into the borough later this summer (different year group) and the admissions team were able to tell me how many children were on each WL and the distance from the school for the first child on the list. For our year this was 11 children for Orleans Park, closest child living less than 500 metres away. For Deer Park there were 2 on the list, closest 200 metres away.
This can change quickly and the borough will not accept your application until you are physically living at your new address.

*Orleans Primary sorry, not Orleans Park.

Thank you very much! Speaking of Orleans Primary, are graduates at the school guaranteed a place at Orleans Park? Are there connections between the two?
