Admissions

ADMISSIONS POLICY

Transfer to Secondary School
Parents have a right in law to express a preference for the place of education for their children and forms for this are circulated to all primary schools within the area in September. These have to be returned by the end of October to the Education Office which then allocates places. Once a school is oversubscribed places are allocated according to strict criteria, details of which can be found in a document outlining the Authority's policy and arrangements for admission and transfer and the provision within the County of primary and secondary schools.  Copies are available free of charge from the Education Office (North) or any of the maintained schools.  Parents who wish to apply for a place from outside the area should contact the Education Office (North).

Enquiries about admissions other than a normal secondary transfer from primary school should be directed, in the first instance, to the school on 01403 254932.
