In Year Admissions

For ‘In Year’ applications received outside the normal admissions round, if places are available they will be offered to those who apply. Direct application to the school can now be made under this heading.  If there are places available but more applicants than places then the published oversubscription criteria will be applied.  Please refer to the current Admission Policy below for oversubscription criteria.

Please call the school office on 01695 722346 and they will take your contact details and you will be informed if a place is available in the relevant year group.  If there is not a place you will be invited to join our waiting list, based on our admissions criteria which you can find in the prospectus below. Applications to school will be approved by the Governing Body.
