This page gives details of the admissions process for Years 7 to 11. For Sixth Form admissions, please visit the Sixth Form website admissions page.

Admission to a Shared Learning Trust Academy falls into one of two categories, but in all circumstances, admission is subject to the statutory Admissions Code, which can be found by following the link below to the Department for Education website:

1. Admission to a year group starting in September of the current academic year – NORMAL ADMISSIONS ROUND

Application for admission to start in Year 7 for September 2023, is managed by the local authority’s admissions team, whose address can be found below. The closing date for applications has now expired and late submission may affect your chances of securing a place in Year 7 at the academy. However, any late applications submitted after this date will still be processed by the authority.

2. Admission to a year group after the starting date for that academic year (ie. September) – IN-YEAR ADMISSION

All in-year admissions to a Shared Learning Trust academy are managed by:
