Admissions

Reception and Year 7 intakes in September 2021

Applications to the Academy should be made via the local authority/council CPF (Common Preference Form).  You will need to name the Academy as one of your school preferences on that form.

Places will be filled in line with the oversubscription criteria outlined in our Admissions and Appeals Policy (see Downloads section below).  If you are applying for a place under the:

• Previously looked-after child criteria, you will also need to complete the Priority 1a Supplementary Form (available in the Downloads section below) and submit this and the supporting evidence, to the local authority with the Common Preference Form.
• Exceptional medical or social need, you will also need to complete the Priority 1b Supplementary Form (available in the Downloads section below) and submit this and the supporting evidence, directly to the Academy.  This is required in addition to submission of the Common Preference Form.
• Children of staff criteria, you will also need to send a letter or e-mail to the Governing Body of the Academy, sent via the Admissions Officer, stating the name, post, and length of service of the member of staff and the child’s name and date of birth.  This is required in addition to submission of the Common Preference Form.
