Entry into Years 8-11
In-Year applications will be considered each year for any vacancies in Years 8-11 from September and for any vacancies in Year 7 from January. Please see the relevant Admissions Policy for further information on in year applications, including how the required standard is determined and the oversubscription criteria.
The School is prepared to accept children into each year group up to the maximum admission number of 128 pupils, though we do not recommend that a pupil transfers schools in Year 9 and higher due to potential differences in the GCSE exam boards and the curriculum. Assessment for entry into the School will be arranged using in-house tests in English, mathematics and science. For children moving into the catchment area, the School will arrange testing as soon as possible. For all other applications, testing will only take place in November (for admission in January), in February (for admission in April) and in June (for admission in September). The School will notify a parent in writing within 15 school days of their in-year application of the date for the assessment of ability.
Applicants may only apply for a place in any particular year group once.
Should there be more applicants who reach the required academic standard for a particular year than can be accommodated, priority will be given using the same oversubscription criteria as for Year 7 Entry (see current Admissions Policy).
