Term dates
Alternative provision free schools can set their own term dates. Many follow East Sussex council's dates, shown below as a guide, but check with the school, especially for INSET days.
2026/27
2027/28
Admissions
Places for Year 7 are applied for through your home council, not the school.
Apply for a secondary school place on GOV.UK
How places are given: there's no entrance test. When there are more applicants than places, places usually go by criteria such as siblings, distance or catchment area. Check the council's or school's admissions policy for the exact rules.
Ofsted inspection
Latest graded inspection, 4 February 2025. No overall grade was given (Ofsted stopped giving one in September 2024). It was inspected as The Workplace, before the school changed (for example, became an academy).
