Appeals for entry into Year 7 to start secondary school for the first time – what are called ‘normal’ admission requests – are usually held in the summer term after parents/ carers have been notified of the refusal of a school place, commonly in June and July.
Starting school in September 2024
Do you have a child commencing Secondary school in September 2024? Our Open Event has now passed, but for an opportunity to visit our school, meet our staff and students and speak to our Headteacher, Mr Groak, please contact us.
For applications to start a secondary school for the first time in September 2024, appeal forms should be submitted by the parent/carers by 26 April 2024 and appeals are planned to be held between Wednesday 15 May and Friday 28 June.
