Secondary School Admissions
Secondary places are allocated during Year 6 with most children being allocated a place at the school whose catchment area they live within. However, different schools operate different admission criteria, so it is important to familiarise yourself with these for any school you are considering.
We are unable to influence any secondary applications but are happy to help and support parents where possible. Please contact Mr Denchfield if you would like to discuss any aspect of the secondary admissions process.
