FormatsApplication for change of section
Use this to ask the principal to move you to another section of the same class, for example because of timing, distance or a subject choice.

When to use this letter
Use this when there is a genuine reason to move to another section of the same class: an optional subject taught only there, a transport or timing problem, a medical need, or a serious problem with a classmate that the teachers already know about. It is a request, not a right. Sections are balanced by numbers, and the principal has to weigh that.
Before you send it
- Give a study reason: a subject, a timetable clash or a real difficulty. "My friends are there" is not a reason a principal can accept.
- Apply early in the session. A change after the first term is rarely allowed.
- A parent's signature makes the request stronger.
How to send or submit it
Talk to your class teacher first; their support counts for a lot. Then give the application to the principal's office, signed by a parent. Go on attending your present section until you receive the decision in writing or from the class teacher.
Mistakes that get it sent back
- No real reason given.
- Asked for in the middle of a term or just before exams.
- No parent's signature.
- The section asked for is already full. Ask the office before you name it.
