In-Year Admissions
We understand that it is sometimes necessary for you to move your child to a new school during the school year due to a house move, because you are a Service Family, or you feel that your child’s current school is not right for them.
If you are thinking of moving to Cove Junior School we would like to invite you and your child to come and visit the school. School tours can be arranged by calling the School Office on 01252 542941.
