Advice for Year R applicants

  • a copy of a recent household bill showing both your name and the property address e.g. gas, electricity, water, council tax

  • a copy of a bank statement, credit card statement, store card statement showing both your name and the property address

  • in the case of a house move, a copy of a solicitor’s letter confirming completion or a signed rental agreement.

Parents who have not yet made an application for their child to start infant/primary or junior school or who wish to apply to different schools from those named on their original application will need to complete a paper application. This can be obtained by:

Completed applications can be returned to any Hampshire primary, junior or secondary school or sent directly to the County Admissions Team.

When should I expect to receive the decision letter?

Don't forget...

  • your child will automatically be added to the waiting list of any higher preference Hampshire school than the one you have been allocated;
