Admissions
Year 7 Admissions
Thank you for expressing an interest in our Academy for your child to join us. If you missed our open evening or would like to arrange a 1 to 1 visit at any time then please contact us.
Please be aware that we have previously been oversubscribed with significantly more applications than places available. Most parents who missed out on securing places did so because they did not meet the deadline for the return of applications for places. The deadline was 31st October 2023 and applications for places in our Academy are made through the BwD application for school places process. Please ensure that you do not miss the deadline. It is also worth noting that historically, every application that has placed the Academy as a first preference has secured a place.
If you missed our open evening or would like to arrange a 1 to 1 visit please contact us.
