School Admissions Process in Response to Ukraine Crisis
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead is working closely with all schools to ensure that any children of compulsory school age arriving from Ukraine are placed into the most appropriate school within a timely manner. The school application process (also known as in-year transfer admissions) will be centralised and coordinated by the local authority to ensure that all applications are dealt with quickly and efficiently.
In order for a school place to be allocated to children arriving from Ukraine, an application form must be completed. Please see our Admissions for Children from overseas webpage for more information.
