Admissions Policies
Thinking of joining us?
We hold Open Days and welcome visits from parents and children who are considering applying for a place here, as this is a great opportunity for you to see what we have to offer. If you would like to visit, please contact us to make an appointment. (Visits are not a compulsory part of the admissions process and will not affect decisions on whether a place can be offered at our school.)
Our Admissions policies:
The Admissions policies for pupils' admissions during the academic years 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 can be found below. They include a timetable for appeals. However, new regulations apply to appeals at the moment because of covid-19.
Appeals timetables:
The government has issued new regulations about holding admission appeals up to September 2021. Due to covid-19 restrictions, there is no requirement for appeals to be heard in person at a face to face hearing. The current default position is appeal hearings taking place by video call or by telephone conference. Those parents unable to take part in this way can have their appeals heard in absence on the papers that are submitted. The strict timetable for appeals to be heard within a set number of days has been abandoned during this period too: they must be heard as soon as is reasonably possible, particularly over the summer holidays.
