Apply for nursery, reception or secondary school
This is where you make an application for the normal year of entry into a school and is known as the normal admissions round.
It is vital that you submit your application by the deadline – if you submit your application late it is less likely that your child will be able to gain a place at the school of your choice.
Read the school admissions policy 2019/20 (pdf) before making an application so that you understand the terms and conditions under which you are making your application.

Apply for an in-year transfer
Complete the in-year application form 2018/19 (pdf) to transfer your child from one school to another outside of the normal admissions round.
Read the school admissions policy 2018/19 (pdf) before making an application so that you understand the terms and conditions under which you are making your application.
We welcome enquiries from parents wishing to transfer their child from English to Welsh-medium education.
Pupils can be given additional language support to transfer and this is usually successful.
Contact your catchment Welsh-medium school or email school.admissions@newport.gov.uk for more information.
