Transfer to Secondary School
A growing number of primary and secondary schools in the
area means that most parents will need their children to transfer
to secondary school at 11+ (the end of year 6). There are
also secondary schools in other local authorities.
If your child is attending a local authority primary school, or
a middle school that will not have a Year 7 year group in
September 2018 and is due to transfer to secondary school in
September 2018, you will receive an information sheet from your
child's current school during the Autumn term 2017.
To help you with this process we have produced a
School
transfer booklet(PDF document opens in new
window).
We strongly recommend that you apply for a school place using the
online facility, which will be
available to you at the start of the admissions process.
You will be able to download a transfer to
secondary school application form(PDF document opens
in new window),
If you are applying for a secondary school place and you are not
resident within the Bedford Borough area you should contact your
own local authority for an application form or you can apply online
to your local authority.
Open days / evenings
Details can be found in the School transfer booklet (please
