Welcome to the UK (United Kingdom). and welcome to Birmingham. Our website has lots of information on school admissions.

When you complete an application for your child to go to school, you must include the details of your previous address in Hong Kong.

For in-year admissions, there is a part on the form to include this information.

If you are completing an application for your child to start reception class or to transfer to secondary school for September, you must include details of your previous address on the online application form in the reasons for preferences section.

The Welcome Pack for arrivals from Hong Kong on the British National (Overseas) visa that was provided by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government also includes an admissions guide on pages 30 to 35.
