I want my child to go to a school outside Derbyshire
Under the 1996 Education Act, you have the right to ask for your child to go to a school in the area of another council.
If you include a school outside Derbyshire in your preferences you should still apply to Derbyshire online.
We will send the form to the neighbouring council for consideration and liaise with them through the process.
The decision on whether the child can be offered a place will be taken by the council which runs the school, or the governing body if it is a voluntary aided, academy or foundation school. You may want to check with the school's home council how places are allocated in that area.
When they have made their decision, we make the offer on their behalf.
You have a right of appeal against a refusal to admit your child, in the same way as for Derbyshire schools.
I don't live in Derbyshire but I want my child to go to a Derbyshire school
If you do not live in Derbyshire but would like your child to attend a school in the county, you should apply to your home council, which will send the details to us.
